My Top Ten Favorite Bands
More than anything else, I get asked who my favorite bands are. You'd think it'd be what my favorite books are or my favorite horror movies but, nope. I'm constantly being asked who I listen to. For some reason, people always assume I'm into metal. Sorry, you won't find any metal on this list but a bunch of punk, ska, and reggae.
10: Rancid
9: The Specials
8: The Night Gaunts
7: Crass
6: Fucked Up
5: Mad Conductor
4: Leftover Crack
3: Chumbawamba
2: The Mighty Mighty BossToneS
1: The Clash
