Four Square Miles of Noise 
I love these!
Favorite Musical Style: probably indie/emo
Second Favorite Style: punk/alternative rock
Personal Eclectic Mix: pretty much anything but radio rap and mainstream pop
Leas Favorite Musical Style: I’m not a fan of most radio rap due to its content; I tend to dislike mainstream pop because the lyrics are often shallow and lack any poetic flair
Favorite Artists/Groups: Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Band of Horses, Jimmy Eat World, Coheed and Cambria, Saves the Day, Secondhand Serenade, Mayday Parade
Favorite Songs: the whole Dances with Wolves soundtrack, The Scientist by Coldplay, Everlong by the Foo Fighters, Glycerine by Bush, Better Man by Pearl Jam; Mr. Jones by Ben Folds
Favorite Musical Settings: piano, strings
Live Performance: My main concern is that I am energized enough to stay awake until the end (not a night person)!
Most memorable concert: Probably All American Rejects in Detroit during my college years–but the first (and only!) time I crowd surfed was at a Taking Back Sunday show, and that was pretty memorable, too. So was Incubus…
Okay, running out of time… Maybe I will be able to answer the rest of the questions (which are so fun!!!) later! Time will tell!
Thanks for sharing Amanda. Most of us have strong feelings about our musical tastes and they reveal a lot about the individual.
