Which one, specifically? /p
Someone likes punk.
Love the list.
I would NOT have pegged you as a TMBG fan. I’ve actually seen them live, twice!
Or…maybe you just don’t listen to a lot of bands that start with the letter T.
Muse was a close second for me. We’ve got tickets for our 5th Muse concert in a few weeks. Fantastic live band!
Queen … s of the Stone Age
This is not new news
I was compelled to say Miles instead of The Menzingers, however - as much as I love Miles - his music doesn’t play in my head on a run as much as The Menzingers
Same with Coltrane, Dave Brubeck, Stanley Clarke/Chick Corea/Return to Forever, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, and so on & on
Damn. I had to add “s” on to three or four where my fingers didn’t type it in the first place. I thought I got them all.
Somehow I forgot Q, W, and Y. Fixed.
