I try not to choose favourites except at work ;)
But does this meme mean a band or an artist? Because I can say without a doubt that Laura Pausini is my favourite artist, without a doubt. Favourite band rotates. Usually Canadian, though, that I can tell you. I love Tragically Hip & Great Big Sea, but I've kinda fallen out of love with GBS lately. Carbon Leaf is good, but not magical. And Dropkicks are amazing, but I can't listen to them nonstop. I don't have that one ~MAGICAL~ band that I instantly adore and need to own everything ever by them.

I'll give you another Laura track (remember this will be a mix when I'm finished with the meme):

Laura Pausini - Come una danza
(This is just such a fun track to listen to, no matter what mood you're in).

The answer to the favourite band took some thought. I go through phases in music. I went from boy bands to singer-songwriter Lilith Fair type stuff to elevator music to alt rock to metal to celtic to celtic punk (which still sticks around) to today's little bit of everything.

But you know I think about it and I have to go with the band that I discovered through advertising on Fark.com years ago when I was an early member there. (5 digit account number! If that means anything anymore. And yes it was a low #)

And this song is super amazing in its acoustic form, as well as its original electric form. My sister got to see them live and I'm jealous because I was originally gonna see them myself before I went and got a new job.
