Musics

Hey everyone! I'm looking to expand my music tastes/library. What are your 5 favorite songs or artists?


These are probably (maybe?)  my favorite songs (though they change a lot depending on my mood, what I'm listening to a lot, what I've listened to too much, and what I've discovered recently), in no particular order:

Soul Love - David Bowie
Holland 1945 - Neutral Milk Hotel
Gangsta - tUnE yArDs
On This Tidal Wave of Young Blood - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!
Lonely Boy - Black Keys
