I found Streetlight Manifesto when i discovered that the original singer from Catch 22 had his own, 100x better band. Never looked back. (Well, i looked back a little. Catch 22 isn't so bad.)
Damn. Me and you are in the EXACT SAME BOAT, sir. Found Catch 22, LOVED Keasbey Nights, Hated everything else. Found out singer changed after Keasbey Nights. Found Streetlight. High five.

However, they are NOT my favorite band.

My FAVORITE band, The Killers, were introduced to me through my cousin, a Carnegie Mellon student with a very twisted sense of humour.

Mine is Rush.

My dad played classic rock bands like them as far back as i can remember. I grew up listening to bands like Boston, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, and of course Rush.

When I got to the age where I started to understand music, Rush, for me, stood above the rest.

There also one of the best live bands......
[small] this is my favorite song [/small]

Rush Rush Rush RUSH FUCKING RUSH

gah I saw them on Vh1 Classic at like 3 am and I've been hooked ever since

I don't really have a favourite band, but I discovered both my well-loved groups Nada Surf and The Shins through film soundtracks.

Pink Floyd - I remember the first time I listened to "Speak to me/Breathe" when I was 15, and still in my blink-182/pop-punk phase, and I didn't like the song at all. "How boring", I said. Oh, how naive I was.

Anyway, when I was 17, I gave Dark Side of the Moon another go, downloading the album one song at a time. After listening to (and loving) "Breathe", I had a really good feeling about the album. Once "Time" had finished playing, I knew that I had found something really special. From then on, I went on to Wish You Were Here, The Wall, Animals, and even as far back as Piper at the Gates of Dawn. There is simply no other band that can compare.
