name_a_band_that_defines_you
silentbob i'm not suggesting that when it comes down to it all people are are products of the music they listen to, and that can be reduced to one band. i realize that a variety of bands make up a lot of people, in some cases NO band makes up someone. but... if someone asked you "name one band that defines yourself" what would you say?

i am a mix of alkaline_trio but i don't drink of anything so i can't exactly use it to completely define me...

saves the day is also a rather good example

i think the cure is a good example of me.

Joana. I think Low could define my head, in a very abstract sense... they even have the same kind of nearly unperceivable, incognito humour (;-)).
But then again, I associate to a million other bands.
Lately: Stina Nordenstam's soft, naïve voice. Ooh, I feel so girly now.

dandy oh, has tchaikovsky got a group together now? :-p.

Seriously...hmm,.... emblematic music ....of my soul and being.....that resonates, shapes and defines me?

I'm still coming up empty. Many influences. No stand outs found yet.

reitoei may be onto something with the vibrations of combinations of instruments.

Unless, maybe for me, in some moods, Confederate Railroad or Great Big Sea with their rock-play.

jane could i? only one band that can encompass every feeling i've ever had, every feeling to come? could i define, which is to say limit myself by the definition, one group of people with instruments and orgiastic electronica so dynamic they speak for me, their music tells you how i brush hair away from my lips, or mirrors the sound of my weeping, or laughter sometimes. how can anyone just put these borders up, this is me, this is who i am, everything is said in this one song? and then sometimes it is, and that feeling of being totally understood is perhaps what we live for. 050101

pobodys nerfect As far as the name-wise,i think the
(canadian band)"Glass Tiger" fits nicely. Mostly because I'm very fiercely protective of people i care deeply about,but at the same time i think that in matters of the heart i'm a fairly emotionally fragile person(fallen for the wrong guy WAY too many times,blah blah blah). And here's a neat fact--with a couple of vowels,my first/middle/last initials actually spell out the word "clear". =)

As for the type of music the bands play,i think there's too much of it that would fit me.
