Music Dude, it's Really Friggen Important.

               Day six: What musician/group has Is most important?

               What the? Is this real? Like holy moly, the first five were like super easy and then it just opens up and hits you with the big guns. Seriously the first four were pretty easy things honestly. This is legitimately difficult. Do I go with the classic rock groups like Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd because they are the first bands I listened to? Maybe I go with something a little more modern perhaps? It’s hard to say something like that because maybe it’s just a person/group I really like right now. It’s not an electronic artist for sure though, I really like it, but I do not feel influenced by it. Which I feel is necessary to qualify as “most” important to me, that’s fair right?

               I mean, music is easily has easily had the most influence in my life about the way I think out of any other form of media. Even gaming hasn’t had the level of impact on my thinking that music does. That’s perfectly ok. Music really is probably one of if not the biggest influence on most people. Sure there are the film guys and game people and bookworms who would say the film, game, and literature influence them more, but they are the minority. Music simply speaks to the soul. It’s so easy for a person to connect to some kind of music that it’s simply commonplace for it to be SO influential.

               As a side note, I’m pretty much going to say the music that has the most influence on me is most important. Makes sense right?

                Alright, I’ve been thinking for hours now and just can’t come to a definitive answer. So screw you, I’m giving two.

    Macklemore.
This guy is a totally sick rapper, and I’ve only really listened through one album, but man oh man does he make you think, songs like Otherside, Wings, B-Boy, Contradiction, Ego, My Language, Remember High School, Soldiers, and White Privilege just blow me away. This ish makes me think. A lot. My personal favourite is Contradiction, and I recommend everyone listens to it, and really listens to it. I don’t care if you really aren’t into rap or anything, just think about what he’s saying and think about it.

   
Keane,
I connect to this music. I just feel like I can relate to their songs so easily. They get a huge boost for having Bad Dream in their repertoire because it’s my personal favourite song to this point in time. What makes me really love that song is just how I always mind myself drifting into this cool stupor of thought whenever I listen to it, like every time I listen to it I feel like I have a good idea. Unfortunately I don’t always right these down so a lot of them get lost.

               I really got to hand it to Lysa on this one though, when she first introduced me to Keane I kinda just brushed it off. They were ok, but not really worth my time then. Then I actually listened to like more than 2 songs and suddenly I realized what a terrible mistake I had been making by not listening to them. Seriously one of the best bands I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to and hopefully I’ll get the chance to see them live someday. I`d also really like to see Macklemore live, but that`s slightly off point.
