I wanted to take this time to post a bunch of my favorite bands and list my favorite songs by those bands. As I have said in numerous posts, the whole purpose of this blog is to share the music I love with others who are looking for music outside of the mainstream realm.
My taste is not everyone's taste, and I am well aware of that. My favorite music is the alternative folk rock sound. Regardless, I think if you are interested in independent music, you should at least research the following songs and give them a listen. You never know what you may end up jamming to.
