I quite like Linkin Park and Evanescence.

For me, Back Street Boys. I loved the hell out of them when I was younger, and was the only music I listened to other then Oldies and Weird Al.

I thank the year of 2005, one year after the surge of Alternative Rock on the US Popcharts (Like The Killers First album, Franz Ferdinand, and Jet), since that's when I finally gave those bands a chance. And I love them. <3 (Well, the Killers First album at least, not so much the later ones.)
