100 - Spoon

Favorite Bands

I’ve counted down the top 20 music videos. Now, it is time for something bigger and better. I will now count down the, not 20, 40, 60… but 100 of my favorite musical artists. That is, a blog a day specifically devoted to each band on my top 100 artist list, which took about a week for me to come up with on and off.

NOTE: this is not a matter of talent; merely a list of my personal favorite artists. There are plenty of times where a lower number band is more talented than the band after them.

With that said…

I Summon You -
"Remember the weight of the world
It's a sound that we used to buy
And all that you can
All that you can give is a cold goodbye
The law enforcement's impressed you've survived to this age"
