Hey my name is Dave from The Whisperlights. Music was a huge part of my mid teenage years and I was listening to a lot of Vagrant, Lookout, Mojo, and Asian Man bands at the time, so I'm going to do a little tribute to the bands that sculpted my music personality and helped me discover the best way to keep breakup depression at bay is through music. The first ten are bands that got me through being a dumb teenager, and the last are two great bands that I've had the pleasure of playing with as a dumb mid-20s adult.
FROM YOUNG AND DUMB TO NOT SO YOUNG AND DUMB:
1. The Anniversary - Sweet Marie
2. The Get Up Kids - Ten Minutes
3. The Hippos - Wasting My Life
5. Green Day - Welcome to Paradise
8. Slow Gherkin - Get Some More
9. Goldfinger - 20 cent Goodbye
10. Reel Big Fish - I Want Your Girlfriend to Be My Girlfriend Too
12. The Whisperlights - Ditch the Watch (live)
great list. too much nostalgia.
