Throw it Away, Forget Yesterday

Boys Like Girls. This band defines my taste in music throughout my teenage years. Ever since the first time I heard The Great Escape in 7th Grade, I was hooked. What's not to like about this fresh group who epitomizes alternative music? Although some of their songs sound the same, there are a few that definitely stand out. Thunder, Heels Over Head, and 5 Minutes to Midnight are by far my favorite. I love the fact that their lyrics can range being young, crazy and just loving life to a heartfelt love song that makes you smile every time you listen to it. BLG brings back memories of karaoke at 8th grade graduation (we OWNED :D), endless summer days, and the feeling of being young and On Top of the World (which, admittedly, is another title of one of their songs). The downfall? They haven't released a new album in ages. But I'm sure when they do, it'll (hopefully!) be just as amazing as their first one.
Keep listening.

    What do you think defines alternative music? I never understood that, since it's often so popular... lol.

    haha well ok the first song I ever heard was that was considered "alternative" music was Boys Like Girls. So i guess for the last 2 years that has been my standard. I think while its not hard rock, it's not pop either.
