Music is very important to me and I believe that different bands at different times of my life have helped define who I am, have inspired me creatively, and have created some of my favorite memories. The least I can do is dedicate a drawing to my top 10 favorite bands & artists! Starting the countdown - #10. Green Day: Honestly I don’t think I do so well as a self-proclaimed Green Day fan. If you ask me to name any of their songs from the past 10 years, I couldn’t tell you. But there’s something very, very special about the album “American Idiot” - that CD stands in its own place in time on my life narrative. Hearing it for the first time was so impactful that I remember exactly where I was, and when. It shook me - I was 12 years old, had previously only known my parents’ music and Disney CDs, and had never heard something so loud and fast, and powerful (and full of cuss words) as this wonderful album. I immediately knew I needed to have this CD, so I convinced a school friend to get it for me for Christmas and I kept my secret treasure hidden in my room where I would listen to it every. single. day. I loved the narrative style of the album, which had characters and some kind of plot that I don’t think I ever fully understood, but I would interpret it in my own way. Not to mention, the music got me thinking politically for the first time in my young life. For all these reasons, Green Day takes the number 10 spot on my countdown.My favorite songs: American Idiot, Holiday, Jesus of Suburbia, St. Jimmy -- source link
