The Tragically Hip and more!

For my choice blog, since I had no other good ideas, I decided to write about my favorite bands. My favorite band ever, more than all the others, is The Tragically Hip. They’re a Canadian rock band, so I don’t know of many other people that have heard of them. My dad is the main reason I started listening to them, because they are also his favorite band. I have really early memories of just chilling with my dad while he listened to Tragically Hip songs, and I’ve loved them for as long as I can remember. Similarly, my dad and I share other favorite bands. We have such similar tastes in music, we share and iPod. For real. When mine is dead or broken, I use his iPod on road trips or when I work out. We recommend songs to each other and learn about new music that the other happens to be listening to at the moment. He introduced me to Third Eye Blind a couple years ago (which became another one of my favorite bands), and I recently introduced my dad to Foster the People. He ended up loving them! My brother and I also love a lot of the same music! We have this thing we do where we both go through our iTunes and tell each other our favorite songs at the moment. It sounds really strange, but I think it’s fun; maybe it’s one of those “you have to be there to understand it” things. But it’s definitely a fun time. He got me to like some of his favorite bands, like Sublime, Nirvana, and the Foo Fighters. Oppositely, I got him interested in bands like Band of Horses and Drake. I think that’s why my taste in music is so vast. I get all these bands that I now love from my family, and I also have my own taste in music.
