Sooo.. I‘ve thought about it and I have a list. I don‘t think it‘s complete but I‘ll add if I remember something.
My favorite artists are:
1. Avril Lavigne: always on top. She‘s my artist of the decade! Goodbye Lullaby and HAW are my all time favorite albums she‘s ever made. Her self titled was also cool even though it‘s not that great. I still vibe to R&R and listen every winter to Hush Hush (and Sippin‘ On Sunshine lol)
I‘m so excited for the concert in 2020.
2. The Vamps: In 2014 The Vamps appeared and the first song and mv I saw was „Can We Dance“. I have a deep connection with that song.
When I heard that song I was like: „Are they something like 1D? What is this?“
And now look at me: went to their concert, met them and became a big fanboy. I truly love them and I‘m glad they‘re still making music. Next year they will release a new album. ^.^
3. Against The Current: also in 2014 another band called Against The Current started with their first EP „Infinity“. I‘m so in love with them. I was at their concert in 2016 I guess and it was my first time on a concert. It was a small venue with around 30(?) people only.
But it was great and I‘m glad I was there. Their albums In Our Bones and Past Lives are great. (My favorite song at the moment is Personal I guess. It‘s about a friend of her who passed away. T.T)
From here on I‘m not sure about the ranking but I tried something.
4. Twenty One Pilots: tøp is one of my faves for sure! „Blurryface“ the album is such an amazing piece of art. Honestly! I probably love every single song on it. My favorites were „The Judge“ and „Hometown“.. and everything else lol.
5. Halsey: Especially her Room 93 EP catched me! Is There Somewhere is probably my absolute favorite song of hers. I partly liked the album „Badlands“ there were some songs I never really listened to it again but there are also gems like „Roman Holiday“ „Hurricane“ or „Drive“. So I think it belongs to this list.
6. One Direction: Yes. Yes, I‘m one of them lol. I don’t like everything from them but they definitely made my 2010 brighter with songs like „Summer Love“, „Best Song Ever“ or „Story Of My Life“ and many many more. Sad that they went separate ways but at the same time great because artist like Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson ended up being great artists in my eyes. See Honorable Mentions.*
7. Kesha: At the very beginning I truly disliked her but the more time past the more I liked her and after the things that happened to her and when she released „Praying“ I was totally into it. It‘s not a perfect album but there are some beautiful songs as „Learn To Let Go“.
8. Lady Gaga: I mean.. come on.. who doesn’t like her. Her albums „ARTPOP“ and „Born This Way“ are so good and I even enjoy „Joanne“ even though a lot of people don‘t. Or her Soundtrack to A Star Is Born, especially „Shallow“. Such a tune.
9. Demi Lovato: I love her music and her voice. I really like her songs „Cool For The Summer“, „Skyscraper“, „Heart Attack“ and many more.
10. P!nk: Her albums „The Truth About Love“ and „Beautiful Drama“, I‘ve listened to every song of them.. and I enjoy almost every song on them! I still listen to „Try“ or „Just Give Me a Reason“ and a lot other songs of hers.
Honorable Mentions:
- Niall Horan: I live him and a lot of his songs on „Flicker“. I was on his concert im Zurich. He‘s mot on the list since I have 1D there. His newest single „Put A Little Love On Me“ is amazing!
- Louis Tomlinson: I never really cared about Louos until he released „Two Of Us“. That sh*t made me cry like a baby lol. And now I‘m so excited for his upcoming album!
- The Soundtrack of „Horizon: Zero Dawn“: Simple.. A. Piece. Of. ART.
I didn‘t put it on the list above because it‘s a soundtrack but one of the composers of the Soundtrack (Joris De Man) made it on my spotify artists of the decades list the third place! That says enough I guess.
That‘s it for now.
Do you know some of the songs? Something you didn’t know but want to listen to?
