Ultimate Death Round: Top 3 Bands of All-Time

As Lindsay, myself, and Emily sit here in this New York apartment on the Upper East Side on a blistery, cold, snowy Friday night awaiting to celebrate the birth of our very own blogger, Emily Chernick, we are reflecting on our musical interests and favorite bands of all-time.

First up... the birthday girl herself: Emily Chernick.
Her top 3 all-time bands consists of...

1. The Black Keys (maybe because they're from Akron and Emily holds a special place for her home state Ohio, or just the fact that they are amazing live and love hamburgers)
2. Jack White/The White Stripes (solely because Emily was unsure if she could consider Jack White to be a band since he does many side projects)
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers (because Emily has loved them since 7th grade and Anthony Kiedis inspired Emily to become a social worker)

Next up... representing Barack Obama from D.C.: Lindsay Mahoney.

Her top 3 all-time bands consists of...

1. Minus The Bear ****** (Lindsay has seen them 8 times and counting in numerous states and she downloaded Instagram entirely for the band)
2. Yeah Yeah Yeahs (because Lindsay used to explore nature all day to "Karen O")
3. Grace Potter and The Nocturnals (Lindsay has just started to explore her music and thinks she is cool)

And finally up... representing the youth of America and awkward school dances: Jeana Favat

Her top 3 all-time bands consists of...

1. Metric (mostly because I aspire to be Emily Haines and she has the most beautiful voice in the world)
2. Of Monsters and Men (better known as OMAM mainly because I will never get sick of their first album and they wear straw hats when they perform and put birthday cakes on their stage)
3. The Black Keys/The xx (this has to be a tie because I can't pick a top 3 since I love them all so much but The Black Keys will forever be a classic since they love hamburgers as well. The xx makes me depressed which is something I like)

This is the last thing we will remember as we venture out into the stormy weather to eat Chipotle and celebrate our youth.

Jeana, Lindsay, and Emily
