Ten years ago I was a huge fan of Tool, A Perfect Circle, A System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Angelspit, The Beatles, and Snoop Dogg (did Puscifer exist yet?). My music taste ranged really drastically, but these artists were very common choices for me. Gorillaz was also pretty notable in my life. I had a hard time finding artists I enjoyed, because the music often felt it had little going for it in originality after listening to half an album. Many artists seemed to sound the same throughout, for me. My appeal to Tool & A Perfect Circle stemmed from the wild variance in their music, it felt like an adapting thing and helped me understand my emotions when listening. 

Today Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, The Beatles, and Gorillaz remain close to my heart. I am a huge fan of Dubstep, which I feel is way more rewarding than Angelspit-like Industrial, and love, love, LOVE, rap and eccentric jazz. A few names off my Spotify would be The Grouch, Abstract Rude, Rhye, Aceyalone, Aloe Blacc, Kimbra, Haim, and M.I.A.
