1. AFI
2. The Cure
3. mewithoutYou
4. The Talking Heads
5. The Misfits
6. Stars
7. The Raveonettes
8. My Bloody Valentine
9. The Smiths
10. Of Montreal

This changes regularly, except for the top 5 or so, which have been pretty consistent for the past 10 years. Does this make me a giant, raving hipster?

#10 – * Various Spanish songs.
#09 – * Various pop songs.
#08 – Los Porretas.
#07 – Johnny Cash.
#06 – * Various pieces of classical music.
#05 – * Various house, club, dance, techno, electro, minimal, etc.. songs.
#04 – The Offspring.
#03 – Meatloaf.
#02 – Queen.
#01 – AC/DC.

They are not all bands or artists, because I am the kind of person who likes 3 or 4 songs of 1000’s of bands and artists. so I kind of grouped some up.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard I think to be a hipster you can’t name any bands anyone has ever heard of ever, not even you.

I almost put The Talking Heads, but they didn’t quite make the cut.

In no particular order:

Led Zeppelin
The Smiths
Thrice
New Model Army
Brand New
Tom Waits
Minus The Bear
