Who makes you sing and dance?

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 ( Read more... )

I remember listening to Panic's first album a few years ago, not knowing who they were at all, and being pretty turned off by "Fever". "Pretty.Odd." is a lot more to my musical taste, because "Fever" has too many synths.

I've been listening to AAR for at least 2 years now, and didn't have a clue what they looked like until ~2 months ago.

MARK FUCKING ROSE NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH AN ALBUM. D:

Fall Out Boy won me over with their 2nd and 3rd albums. I mean, I got most of these musics all at once! So.

For me, how I got into bandom was by listening to the music and I loved the music first before the boys. I remember people on my flist who were into bandom talking about Panic and I was curious and listened to Fever then that led me to listen to FOB and I got sucked in from there and realized how generally awesome all the bands are as people too. idk but see I've never had that where I listened to the bandom band long before I discovered bandom, it all happened at the same time ( ... )

For example: I listened to Panic's first album a kajillion times, but I've only skimmed through the recent one. Sorry boys, I am more of a techno fan! But I totally still read Panic fic.

I had Three Cheers and TBP years before I got into reading fic about MCR. I'll still totally get their new albums even if I fall out of the fandom.

I kind of toppled into TAI, and then The Hush Sound and fell in love with Greta's voice and the timeless songs. Accidental fandom, woo!

I'm resisting the urge to get long and rambly, only because I don't have time. :D I love a lot of the non-bandom FBR bands that we mostly only see on tour, Motion City Soundtrack in particular, and I like the new bands I've only just heard on the mixtape, like Hey Monday, Rocket to the Moon, and Four Year Strong ( ... )
