I have to say that one of my favorite bands is Panic! at the Disco. Their music is so different than others and even though their titles are strange, there's a link between the lyrics and the title. Their music videos are pretty awesome as well. I love the music video of "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" (posted below). I looked around for a censored version, it was the best I could find. Since it's censored it really looks like the singer has serious Lip syncing problems.
They originated in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. So far they've only released two albums:
1. 2006: A Fever You Can't Sweat Out
2. 2007-2008: Pretty. Odd.
They're style is quite un-usual. Their concert styles are very circus-type, like the image I've included.
Many have said that their music is "emo", but they say otherwise: "Emo is bull****. We want to be the new Radiohead."
Panic! at the Disco have gotten many awards for their amazing performances:
* MTV Video Music Awards:
- Video of the Year (2006) for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" (Won)
- Best Group Video (2006) for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies"(Nominated)

- Best New Artist in a Video (2006) for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" (Nominated)
- Best Art Direction in a Video (2006) for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" (Nominated)
- MTV Asia Awards 2008: edc Style Award (won)
- TMF Awards: Best Video International (2006) for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" (won)
- Grammy Awards: Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package (Nominated)

I just couldn't go on without mentioning Paramore! With no doubt one of the greatest bands ever made. The lead singer, Hayley Williams, has an amazing voice! The music is so amazing!
The official band members are Josh Farro, Zac Farro, Jeremy Davis, and Hayley Williams. Later on Jason Bynum was also added to the band.
The name Paramore came from the maiden name of one of the group's former bassists back when they were "still playing in the garage". Paramour means "secret lover". They decided to go with that name but using the spelling as Paramore.
Albums:
1. All We Know Is Falling (2005)
2. Riot! (2007)
Riot when platinum in the US and Gold in the UK and Ireland!
Grammy Awards (2008): Best New Artist (Nominated)
MTV Video Music Awards (2008): Best Rock Video for "crushcrushcrush" (Nominated)
NME Awards USA (2008): Best New American Alternative/Indie Band (Nominated)
Teen Choice Awards(2008): Choice Music: Rock Group (Nominated)
Choice Music: Breakout Group (Nominated)
Choice Music: Rock Track for "crushcrushcrush" (Nominated)

Another favorite Band would be Three Days Grace. They're more Rock than anything. They make amazing music and even my metal-head-music-specialist friend gives them a great review.
One of my favorite songs is "I Hate Everything About You", (sounds harsh, but it's got more meaning than just a rant). I couldn't Embed the video (it was disabled) on here so I'll give you a link to it and I'll just post the video of "Animal I Have Become", another great song.
Three Days Grace was originally created in Norwood, Ontario, Canada in 1992.
They also have two albums out:
1. Three Days Grace (July 22, 2003)
2. One-X (June 13, 2006)
__________
One more band I really enjoy listening to is Escape the Fate. They're a rock-emo style band. They're music used to be a bit more screamo (which isn't what I like to hear) but then changed into more of a rock style.
(The actual music video has certain things that would definitely not be appropriate. Even so, the video, in my opinion, is horrible. It makes the band look like they're on Prozac.)
Escape the Fate, like Panic! at the Disco, originated in Nevada, but in Las Vegas.
They made three albums:
1. Formation and Dying Is Your Latest Fashion (2005-2007)
2. Departure of Radke (2008)
3. This War Is Ours (2008-Present)

I never mentioned how much I loved Tupac! Yes, it's not a band, but he's just so bloody amazing! And yes, he died, back in September 13, 1996. I can listen to his music all day.
Below is Changes:
He was even in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest-selling hip hop artist, with over seventy five million albums sold worldwide, including over fifty million in the United States. He was a backup dancer for the alternative hip hop group Digital Underground.
Then on September 13, 1996 he was shot four times in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, and died six days later of respiratory failure and cardiac arrest at the University Medical Center.
Not only has he rapped in his career but he's also gotten to play in a few movies.
Albums:
Studio albums
* 1991: 2Pacalypse Now
* 1993: Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.

Yes, I know, it's all a weird combination of Rock, Rap and...not emo.
This would have been the space that would have included Eminem, but come on, the guy swears more than that crazy drunk guy that walks around at night time looking for Marilyn Monroe.
So Eminem was a no, no.
But I have to add another person to my list.
Avril Lavigne.
It took me a while until I could finally spell her name, but I always thought her music was awesome. I still remember how my dad used to go on all these business trips and he'd ask me what I'd like him to get me. Well that year I asked him to get me a CD, and guess what he brought me? Yes, you guess it, the Avril Lavigne "Let Go" album!!!
She's got an awesome voice and she writes her own songs. Sure sometimes her lyrics just get so WTF (what the flippetty! :D) but nonetheless her voice is amazing.
Her songs are so easy to relate to. One of my favorites is "Everything Back but You". I really wish I could post it but she does say, "And now you're somewhere out there with a b****, s***, psycho babe" (censored) so this was also a no, no.
Instead I'll post "He Wasn't" and allow it to crawl into your mind and never go away:
(Would you believe that none of the other Avril songs had the link to embed the video!!! They were apparently "Embedding disabled by request". Grrr!)
Apparently she not only can sing, but she also does fashion designing and acting!!! I did see her in the oh so very disturbing movie of "The Flock" but I didn't know she had done other appearances like:
Sabrina, the Teenage Witch - Performed "Sk8er Boi"
Going the Distance - Performed "Losing Grip"
Fast Food Nation - Alice the College activist
Over the Hedge - The Voice of Heather
The Flock - Beatrice Bell the Suspects Girlfriend
She was born in Belleville, Ontario on September 27, 1984. Avril is French for "April", while la vigne means "the vineyard". She is French-Canadian and has an older brother, Matthew, and a younger sister, Michelle. At the age of 2, Lavigne began singing along with her mother on church songs...what were you doing when you were 2?
Avril Lavigne is now married to the lead singer/guitarist of Sum 41, Deryck Whibley.
Her Albums:
- Let Go (2002–2003)
- Under My Skin (2004–2006)
- The Best Damn Thing (2007)
Awards:
She got so many god darn awards that I'll have to link you to the site that lists them!
