You know the ones that just smack you in the face. Whenever they come on (whether you choose them or not) you just love 'em. You don't even need to be in the mood, they just force you to love them. These songs aren't even necessarily the best, but they're awesome in all situations of your life. :lol




Dream Theater - Strange Deja Vu
Porcupine Tree - Even Less
Opeth - Ghost of Perdition
Mezzanine - Angel
Eminem - Without Me
Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice
Radiohead - High and Dry
Eisley - Lost At Sea
etc etc etc


Lay some on me. I need new stuff to listen to. :)

I love this band.

A band that doesn't stop at 'hitting you in the head'. After they are done bashing your skull into a pulp, the proceed to tear every limb off of your body before rearranging them with superglue. A little too aggressive for my tastes, but hey... different strokes for different folks.

Didn't really dig your other suggestions (sorry) but this one was pretty dope. Chorus was super catchy

H, check out The Million Bright Ambassadors of Morning by Pure Reason Revolution.  You're a big PF & PT/Steven Wilson fan right?  I think that would be right up your alley.  The album is called The Dark Third.

Yiss.

I should have asked what do you actually listen to first, to avoid posting stuff you know. Oh well :)
