[Halo]

You actually have some pretty decent taste, excluding Nickleback. I mean, I know it's catchy, but c'mon their music objectively sucks.

Anyway, artists I like... I'll stick to my tastes as of the past couple weeks.

Metal and Rock

Halestorm - probably my favourite band right now
QUEEN - I WILL LOVE THEM FOREVER AND EVER. Bonus: They originally formed at my university. :D
Muse
In This Moment
Stone Sour
Slipknot
Bring Me the Horizon
Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, and Three Days Grace (for some reason I always conflate these three mentally)
Alterbridge
Disturbed/Device (same lead singer and similar styles so I'm sticking them together)
Marilyn Manson
Rise Against
The Darkness

Others

Eminem and Hopsin - only rap I really listen to.
Damien Rice
Deadmau5
Amy Winehouse - what a fucking goddess. Tragic what happened to her.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers (one of the few bands for whom I can't think of a single bad song)
Been listening to some jazz/swing - Ella Fitzgerald, Julie London, Duke Ellington, Peggy Lee
Alanis Morissette - just started getting into her
Michael Buble - the man, the legend.
Justin Timberlake (shutup he's got some good songs okay?)

Problem for me is that I tend to listen to playlists composed of a bunch of random songs than to artists/albums, so pinpointing favourite artists is hard. I mean, I might love those three songs by X band on Y playlist but I don't know any more of their discography and so can't really say I like them as a band.

[Joegreenbeen]

I enjoy Linkin Park, the only other artist that I know I've heard their music is Red Hot Chilly Peppers. I love their Dani Callifornia, which is probably their only song that I know (That I know is by them.). I'm a bit of a newb at life in general, and so my music tastes are mostly confined to modern stuff.

[nichinichisou]

i remember a thread like this before
anyways

also the whole album but A Better Place, A Better Time is my favorite song in the album.

Drake and Eminem make the only rap I really like too but they're not important.

[Awson]

Based on the number of their songs in my current library:

Hider

The Strokes (Including Albert and Julian's solo work)
Metric
Arctic Monkeys

Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Radiohead
Weezer
The White Stripes
Silversun Pickups

And then the guilty pleasure that I actually can't stand sometimes: Death Cab For Cutie

I feel like I've said this 1 million times and there's no reason to post this.

@Joegreenbeen

I only started getting into music when I was about 13 or 14, way behind most people, so I know the feeling. Do try to explore other genres in your own time - I stuck to just a few bands/artists for about two years after I started actively listening to music, but eventually started to broaden my horizons and I've found my tastes growing and diversifying the more stuff I listen to. Youtube is an amazing tool for finding random stuff you never thought you'd like but end up loving.

As for RHCP, if you like Dani California there's a good chance you'll like some of their other stuff. You should check out Otherside, Sidewinder, By the Way, and Can't Stop. All fantastic tracks. I'd love to hear what you think of them :3

Oh, and if you like Linkin Park and want more of that sort of stuff I have about ten million recommendations.

[JGBPhone]

I'm turning 15 next month. I'm follow information the Halo path. XD

[The Nexerus]

Weezer and Sondre Lerche are somewhere towards the top of the list. Weezer I listen to most often by far, and Sondre's voice is the most wonderful thing I've ever heard.

Sondre Lerche

[Awson]

Aren't you turning 15 soon too, Nex?

[JGBPhone]

@JGBPhone

He's not. I'm er... playfully insulting him for no reason.

[JGBPhone]

That's what I thought,but I wasn't sure.

A long list of people/bands coming y'alls way:

Look at all this

I was gonna say your tastes are acceptable, then I saw you like Nickelback, FOB, and Linkin Park. Now you just lost points.

Having said that of recent artists I have been growing fond of Monsters and Men and Hozier (except for Take Me To Church which is played so damn much it wears on me, I just want to hear his other songs).

But Pink Floyd has an honestly immovable place in my heart. I may go for a long-ass time without listening to anything by them, but then I look back at and listen to Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, and what have you and I realize why I chose to basically grow up to them.

Warren Zevon is also someone I keep rediscovering. I used to listen to mostly just his memorable hits (see: Wereeolves of London). Then I got into his deeper stuff. And then as I get older and go deeper into his work I find more songs that resonate with me or I can get. Prior I wouldn't have understood stuff like Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner, but I think now I can at least listen to it now as a historical callback to passed modern history and get the references enough to appreciate it as a listener. On in the same vein I can listen to Lawyers, Guns, and Money with the frame of reference of a romantic perception of a bond-esque gambler in Latin America. Or Shit's Fucked Up and know then that's basically the theme to Zevon's later life and a recognition on his - and everyone else's - mortality.

And then there's on-and-off flirtation with Bob Dylan and The Doors. And off-the-radio country and bluegrass groups/musicians.
