Saturday Night Tunes: Now on a Saturday Night!

Hello, my BRB peeps. And here we have a new edition of Saturday night tunes, wherein I talk about my current top three bands, and you share with the group. It's kind of a music version of, "if I show you mine, will you show me yours?" Either way, I will not be wearing pants.
With formalities complete, let's hit the tunes after Van Halen performs Jump.
Did you watch the video? If not, you must go back and watch before moving forward. Go ahead. We'll wait.
...
JUMP!
Once again proving my tastes in music about how Nuke LaLoosh pitches, sorta all over the place, here are bfd's Top 3 most listened to bands over the past week.
3. deadmau5 - Pretty much their discography. When I went back to school a couple years ago, I started listening to a lot of electronica, especially drums and bass, for some unknown reason. After I graduamated, I kinda just stopped. The last couple of weeks have found me re-exploring this genre, and I've fallen in love with deadmau5. I mean, any band with a song called "Cthulhu Speaks" is a-OK by me.
2. The Roots - Undun. I mean, wow, any album that needs to be listened to in a specific order is tough enough to pull off, but this one seems to take it even a bit farther. Powerful, thoughtful, outstanding music.
3. Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Out of Frequency. AGT's first album, Fruit, is an absolute romp. If you need to listen to just one song to get a feel for it, it would be "The Golden Age." Out of Frequency is just a big "bite me" to common convention, and, unsurprisingly, I was hooked on the first listen. Not to sound too much like a hipster douchebag reviewer on Pitchfork, but this album thrives on its lack of give a poop. When you add in one of the most outstanding female vocalists around today, this album is chock full of kick-ass, an all-too-rare element.
Oh, and it's totally chick music.

You think that's bad?
Our class song was “Time of My Life” from “Dirty Dancing”
No, I did not have a vote in the matter. I can only assume the rest of my class thought it was the Green Day song.
God I hate that song.

You Post Whatever Music You Like
The idea is to expand the horizons of the community. Share a song, album, or artist that we may not be listening to so we can learn.
Ecstatic that Texans fandom no longer means that April is the highlight of my season...
If the idea is to post obscure music you haven't heard before I will fail miserably
I don’t recognize any of these artists except for Ringo Starr, and my taste is fairly narrow in scope.

Fine. I'll participate.
I’ve been listening to a lot of Black Keys lately. I gotta admit, I’ve never heard of em until they blew up on the radio a year or two ago. Their mainstream stuff is pretty damn catchy. But their old stuff is better. It’s a bit more bluesy and grungy(the sound, not genre). Love it.
Also, Cold War Kids and A Tribe Called Quest.

A few years back, I remember people dismissing the Black Keys due to their similarities to the White Stripes, back when they were big. Nowadays, the Black Keys are getting a lot of love, and nobody’s heard anything from the White Stripes in ages. Funny how things change.

Really?
I don’t think they’re similar at all. Same genre, yeah. But different styles. To me, at least.

I think it was just the fact that they were a guitar and drum two piece playing in a similar genre concurrently with them. I remember reading a lot of negative reviews back then comparing them unfavorably to the White Stripes, but those same publications embrace them now.

First impression of the first song
Hootie and the Blowfish plus Dave Matthews Band. But that was the intro. Vocals kicked in, and it’s like Cage The Elephant. Loving it so far.

What im listing to a lot at the moment
Between the buried and me -really anything from them, but if you’ve never listed to them start by finding their album Colors listen to it start to finish and be amazed, these guys are probably my favorite band
The number 12 looks like you – this band some might not like because the sporadic nature of the music but if you enjoy this like I do then this will definitely make your ears happy I recommend Jay Walking Backwards
Protest the Hero – The thing I like about this band the most ie the vocalist his range is amazing on of the best I’ve heard in a while -I recommend their song Bloodmeat to start a listen to
Also all of these bands are classified as progressive metal so if your willing to try something new please give them a listen (the number 12 also can be considered noise-core as well)
And in unrelated news I’m moving to Austin in around a month and a half and was wondering how a die hard Texan fan fits in, plus this will be my first time moving out of Houston and any suggestions of bars, restaurants, or general awesome places to go would be cool
