Hi!
Another question I get a lot from students is "What kind of music do you listen to?" I usually say that I don't listen to music because who really has the time. But seriously I'd like to take this opportunity to answer that question:

During more formative years I was a "grunge" kid, my favorite bands were:
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
Nirvana
Alice in Chains
Stone Temple Pilots
Smashing Pumpkins
Weezer


I of course also listened to a lot of the classics too:
Beatles
Led Zeppelin
The Doors


In College I got into more obscure bands:
Sunny Day Real Estate (This is probably my biggest influence)
Far
Failure
Jimmy Eat World
Kent
Hum
The Weakerthans


After college my scope grew:
Interpol
RadioHead
Cold War Kids
Minus the Bear
Hey Mercedes
Queens of the Stone Age
Circa Survive
Edison Glass



I also listen to Christian Praise music:
Delirious
Chris Tomlin
David Crowder


Ok, so I hope that helps you get a sense of where I am coming from musically. Let me know what you think or suggest a group I should check out.
