According to my Spotify profile these are the top five artists I am listening to right now, and it looks about right. I’m just happy the more ”embarrassing” artists in my playlists never show up here, haha ^^

So I was thinking ”Why not share?”. Of course people have heard of Sisters of Mercy and Depeche Mode, but still. Perhaps some of you haven’t..?
In case those of you who are interested don’t have Spotify I’ll link you some good songs from Youtube, because then you don’t have any reasons NOT to go listen and perhaps find something new you might like :)

1. Pendulum – Crush
I’ve only listen to Pendulum for about two months, after asking my friend Jakob for some musical tips. He came up with Pendulum and the album Immersion, and here we are today – Pendulum is number 1 in the current top five.

2. Sisters of Mercy – More
My first contact with Sisters of Mercy was when I was 16-17 and a member of a site called Blandband, were people exchanged mixed tapes and CD’s with each other. I had requested some nice goth music and got a CD with 3-4 Sisters’ songs on it (among other goodies, like Siouxsie and the Banshees and Inkubus Sukkubus). Been stuck ever since ^_^

3. Haggard – Per Aspera Ad Astra
Haggard was a musical tip from my coworker and friend Mattias, whom told me about them when we were going to Iron Maiden last summer. It took me a while before I looked them up, but when I did I was hooked. Waitaminute, italian metal about Gallileo, with both growl AND clean female song?? Yeah. There’s nothing about this I don’t like :3 They also made a kick-ass italian version of the old swedish song Herr Mannelig (Garmarna has a version of it, check it out).

4. Rhapsody (in fire) – Emerald Sword
I started listening to Rhapsody when I was ~16, and I thought I was WAY cool. Then when I started dating my ex, P, he informed me that they weren’t as cool as I thought, haha. Still, I like them. Rhapsody (currently known as ”Rhapsody in Fire”) is the kind of music that makes me look for the nearest sword to grab so I can run into the woods to kill off some trolls and dragons. Very heroic music. I got their first 5 or 6 albums and I think this is the shit :D

5. Depeche Mode – Stripped
Well, everyone has head DM. They are played on the radio, for one! Just can’t get enough, Personal Jesus, It’s no good… Yeah, they are nice. But it was when I was watching a documentary about DM when I was about… um… 18-19? that I first heard Stripped, and I was stuck. I love this song, I love how it is put together and I love the lyrics. Love!

Was this a good post? Would you want me to do this more often with my Spotify Top 5? Comment or post vote! (thumbs up/down). Thanks ^_^
