::::::::::: TOP 3 :::::::::::

So, if it's any consolation... This is the first time I've done this.... :) I have officially had two #1's/a #1 & #2 (I'm not sure, it feels wrong to say) for a long while. But I think I found my #3. And this is not based on their musical genius or anything (semi-excluding Jack White); they just happen to all be musicians. Because that's what I like, I guess.

Here it is, Ladies and Gentlemen -

My TOP 3!!!




#1 - JACK WHITE from The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather. Has to go to my beloved Jack White, of course. I'm attempting to describe why he's awesome and my #1.... Honestly my descriptions seem to all fall short. He isn't what one would normally call "a singer," but he tries so hard that he pulls it off and is more entertaining than any other musician because of it, to me. I'd rather listen to him than any other "singer." He was named #17 on Rolling Stone's list of top 100 guitarists. In addition to being a frickin bad-a on guitar, he also plays piano and drums as well as probably multiple instruments I have never heard of. I would pee my pants if I were in the same room with this guy- guaranteed. Icky Thump by the White Stripes.


#2 - JULIAN CASABLANCAS from The Strokes and Julian Casablancas (solo project). He's always slightly sharp vocally (which is the only way to make it work - flat sounds ever so horrible, sharp is intriguing), there is a lot of yelling, he's very hard to understand, cool as shniz, goofy but still very "I don't give a f&#*", always in his own world, very expressive. Watch The Strokes You Only Live Once music video - you shall see.

#3 - ANDREW VANWYNGARDEN from MGMT. This guy is most likely a man whore and a douche, as most beautiful people are. Also, he seems almost as if he's trying to be weird just to be weird if that makes sense? Maybe not, maybe he's awesome. But, he is a member of an originally two-piece band that has revolutionized and made popular indie music. So I am very thankful for his existence. And his face as well. :) And he cross dresses somewhat, which is totally appealing to me for some reason. Maybe it was my exposure to David Bowie as a kid, I don't know. But I always thought it was totally awesome. Time to Pretend - MGMT

Anywho, those are my top 3!!!
