So. Bandom is a fandom about bands. And I think it's pretty impressive how much we pay attention to the music, but it's also obvious that the boys themselves steal the thunder a lot of the time. I personally was a bandom music fan before anything else, for all the big names - I listened to Fall Out Boy all through high school, probably about 3 years before I even knew who Patrick Stump was. I loved Panic! my freshman year of college - Brendon who? And I listened to The Black Parade for six months before more than vaguely acknowledging MCR's freaky singer. (I'M SORRY GEE ILU)
I know that there are definitely people who fangirl some bandboys without particularly loving their music, which is totally cool, these guys are awesome and so's the fic! But I'm curious about how effective bandom is at converting people to the music... so I'm gonna do a poll!
I want to know whose MUSIC you're a fan of. That is, you own an album or more by a band, have listened to it enough to be familiar, and genuinely LIKE the music. I wouldn't call myself a fan of The Cab - I have their album, listened to it maybe twice, but I don't particularly like it. Just as an example. I would say, on the other hand, that I'm a fan of We The Kings, since the album I downloaded a week ago already has 12 plays.
Satisfy my curiosity, o bandom! (Non-bandom people are more than welcome to answer too!)
