I didn't have to give much thought to this, to be honest.
1. Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge - My Chemical Romance || MCR changed my life. I remember the first time I ever went to Hot Topic and bought my first band shirt in eighth grade. I remember how my best friend got this album for christmas when we were in seventh grade. She burned me a copy and it stayed on constant replay on my Disney princess CD player for years.
In middle school, I was known as the girl that loved MCR.
My five favorite tracks from this album are:
1. To The End
2. You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison
3.Thank You For The Venom
4. I Never Told You What I Do For A Living
5. It's Not A Fashion Statement It's A Fucking Death Five
2. Collide With The Sky - Pierce The Veil || Before CWTS came out, I knew of Pierce The Veil, of course. They were a popular band in my music scene. But, when this album came out and I gave it a listen, I instantly fell in love with this band and their music. Every thing they put out is golden. Since then, they have remained one of my favorite bands. They were my favorite band for the majority of high school. They were amazing to see live and I'm so excited for what's to come from them.
My five favorite tracks from this album are:
1. A Match Into Water
2. Props & Mayhem
3. I'm Low on Gas and You Need a Jacket
4. Stained Glass Eyes & Colorful Tears
5. One Hundred Sleepless Nights
3. Sempiternal - Bring Me The Horizon || I've been a BMTH fan for as long as I can remember. Or like, seven years. While I definitely liked them, I never considered them one of my favorite bands until Sempiternal came out. I had been eagerly awaiting Sempiternal as I had loved the preceding. But when Sempiternal actually came out, I was in shock. I couldn't believe that was Oliver Sykes singing. It was such a beautifully crafted album. Again, listening them in person was amazing. I didn't really love their new albums, That's The Spirit, but I'll give it another try at some point.
My five favorite tracks from this album are:
1. Can You Feel My Heart?
2. Hospital For Souls
3. Deathbeds
4. And The Snakes Start To Sing
5. Join The Club
4. Vessel - Twenty One Pilots || I used to hate this band. I remember a few years ago, probably when Vessel came out, there was a huge add of them in Alt Press. I looked them up and wasn't impressed. Around a year ago, I looked them up again because they were touring with Panic! and FOB. I still wasn't impressed but also confused on why this band was invading this music scene with their rapping. Finally, when they were on the cover of Alt Press (exactly a year ago) I gave them another chance because I was mesmerized by their lyrics... and I also instantly fell in love. I quickly texted my best friend who shared a similar opinion and she too, fell in love. That was exactly a year ago so I haven't liked TOP for very long, but they quickly because the band that I answer with when people ask what my favorite band is.
My five favorite tracks from this album are:
1. The Run and Go
2. Truce
3. Car Radio
4. Semi-automatic
5. Holding on to you
5. A Fever You Can't Sweat Out - Panic! at The Disco || This is the band that started it all for me. I started listening to this band in fourth grade. For that entire year of fourth grade, they were the only band I listened to. By the next year, they had showed me an entire world that I didn't know existed. I didn't know music like this existed. Every band I listen to can be lead back to Panic. This band was along side me every step of the way. In the eight (?) years I've listened to them, I never stopped listening to them. I remember reading my first few fanfics and when their second album came out, band members leaving but also coming. The first gay ship I ever shipped. This band and album changed everything for me.
This is also the band that taught me to delete my internet history.
I still listen to this album pretty often and when I actually pay attention, it's rare a few tears aren't shed.
My five favorite tracks from this album are:
1. Camisado
2. Time To Dance
3. London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines
4. There's a Good Reason...
5. The Only Difference Between...
