Music Suggestions (by genre)

I've been on a major music search lately and sometimes I see people asking for music suggestions so I'm putting together a list of refreshing music! I've found a lot of artists that don't really seem to be well-known and just thought I would share with you guys!<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">POP</span><br>Gabrielle Aplin<br>Jason Walker<br>Matchbox Twenty<br>Olly Murs<br>Maroon 5<br>Matt Cardle<br>A Fine Frenzy<br>Lights<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">ALTERNATIVE</span><br>General Ghost<br>Twiceyoung<br>Weaver At The Loom<br>Brightwood<br>Courrier<br>A Rocket To The Moon<br>Bastille <br>Imagine Dragons <br>The Airborne Toxic Event <br>Fastball<br>The Downtown Fiction<br>Brighten<br>The Lumineers<br>Arctic Monkeys<br>Dashboard Confessional<br>Passion Pit<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">ROCK</span><br>Safety Suit<br>AWOLNATION<br>Barenaked Ladies<br>Elliot Minor<br>Jack Johnson<br>Phantom Planet<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">DANCE</span><br>David Guetta<br>Armstrong<br><span style="font-weight:bold"><br>COUNTRY</span><br>Taylor Hickey<br><span style="font-weight:bold"><br>SINGER/SONGWRITER</span><br> The Afterwhile<br>The Civil Wars<br><br><br><br><br>I'll add to the list as I make some discoveries!<br>Please let me know if you have found any artists that you think other VPians would enjoy! I'd love to make a little "VP Music Collection" ^.^

Even though I'm not really a "country-music" person, I really love Lady Antebellum, which aren't all that popular down under. >.><br>Almost every other band/singing/DJ I love are all popular though.

    <br><br>I love Brixton academy <3 best venue ever! Get to go see papa roach there in December \o/<br><br>I was hesitant to add a list of bands I'd recommend just because I thought this list was more aimed at softer music. But I guess no harm could be done listing bands I like and recommend. Although I will admit some are guilty pleasures. I shall add my list when I get done with being at work.
