Jeez, where do I start? I have rather diverse musical tastes, ranging from Armenian Nu-Metal bands (System of a Down) to french electro-swing (Caravan Palace) to chiptune pop-punk (I Fight Dragons). I'm just going to list some of the more obscure bands I've come across because these guys need some more attention:

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus- they're a Christian punk-rock band with some really great songs. They're also really obscure and a bit yelly-screamy, but Face Down is one of my favorite songs ever. 8 Waffles out of 10.

Gorillaz- Okay, Gorillaz isn't THAT obscure, but they deserve more credit than people give them for creative and often wacky music videos to diverse yet often resounding messages in their songs (Some Kind of Nature and Dirty Harry come to mind). Their music is a little all over the place, with a little hip-hop/rap, a little rock, a little techno, and a little bit psychedelic. They have a little something for everyone. For more hip-hop fans I recommend Humanz (lots of collabs on that one), for more mellow pop fans I recommend The Now Now, for more rock-punk fans I recommend Demon Days, and for anyone else, just listen to Plastic Beach. You're bound to find SOMETHING you like on there. 8.5 Waffles out of 10.

Phoenix- A French pop-rock band that I'm only recently getting into, but I really like them. I'd say they're a pretty accessible band. 7.5 Waffles out of 10.

I Fight Dragons- Merging geeky chiptune with pretty solid guitar lines and lyrics, these guys are like if MCR was actually a DnD group obsessed with Super Nintendos. OVER NINE THOUSAND out of10.

The Pidgeon Detectives- A Scottish rock band with infectious riffs, identifiable songs and honestly enjoyable energy. They're very obscure but they deserve a lot more attention. Pidegon out of 10.

Also Am I the only one who didn't know Celtic Punk was a thing? Or was that just me?

I don't play any instrument. Sad, I know. However, I listen. And listen. And listen.

I really can't name favorites. But, like, I listen to a lot of stuff.

Bastille

Imagine Dragons

Sleeping At Last

Panic! at the Disco

Yeah that's pretty much it. Has anybody heard the song Happier by Mashmello ft. Bastille? I really liked it. However now, I've been listening more into tief, an online remixer. I like listening to tief's Undertale OST remixes. They are AWESOME. Has anybody else actually PLAYED Undertale? :)

I love music of pretty much all kinds! I unfortunately have trouble finding other people who have the same tastes, though.  I like:

- Classical (especially Tchaikovsky and Mozart)

- Classical Broadway showtunes (especially Rogers and Hammerstein)

- Modern showtunes (especially Wicked)

- Patti Page, Doris Day, Dean Martin, etc.

- Electric Swing (especially Caro Emerald)

- Classic rock (the Scorpions, AC/DC, Tommy Tutone, Queen, Journey, etc.)

- I really like that Pink Floyd song "Brick in the Wall" (not very many other Pink Floyd songs though- too depressing for my taste XD)

- 70s disco and 80s music (The BeeGees, Blondie, KC and the Sunshine Band, etc.)

- Upbeat pop (especially Meghan Trainor)

- Tom Leher (if you know this one I will give you a lollipop)

- Rammstein (once again, lollipop.)

- Monty Python's Flying Circus xp

If you like any of these (especially the more obscure ones) then please let me know because for the most part I don't know anyone who likes this stuff!

YAS IMAGINE DRAGONS AND AJR AND TØP. I love those bands!! 

I play the piano, and have for about five years now. I've also dabbled a little bit in guitar and ukulele, but that hasn't gone anywhere.

Besides Imagine Dragons, AJR, and Twenty-One Pilots, I love...

~Michael Bublé

~Frank Sinatra

~Meaghan Smith

~Five for Fighting

~Sixpence None The Richer

~TSFH

~A little bit of P!ATD

~A smidgen of Fall Out Boy 

~And a lot of movie soundtracks, such as Tangled, Moana, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.

Okay, if I had to choose (If you had to choose, if you had to choose! It's up to the delegate!) my favorite artist would likely be either twenty one pilots or My Chemical Romance. (But I didn't choose.)

And then sometimes I'm in the mood of P!atD, or Simon and Garfunkel, or Aftrnoon. I have wide and weird tastes.
