Musicians I have discovered due to fanvids:


Paula Cole
Tears for Fears
Unkle
Paramore
Katy Perry (What? I really wasn't familiar with her stuff before.)
Alabama 3
The Killers
Kloot
Remy Zero
Radiohead
Chirs Cornell
Tegan and Sara
Jen Trynin
Björk
David Gray
Guster
A-ha
Sia
Daughtry
Astronautalis
Belly
Taking Back Sunday
Hole
Tom McRae
Tunng


And that's just the ones I wasn't familiar with before, not the musicians I developed a fresh appreciation for because of fandom, another long list which includes the Rolling Stones and the Bravery.

In other news, my mother claims my childhood obsessions went something like this:

Dinosaurs -> Armadillos -> Cerberus -> Walruses

I have no memory of the armadillos phase. I think she's making it up.

mmm! Used to listen to A-ha a lot! I found Phillips Phillips' Home while I was looking around for a song to put my vid to. I found out later a lot of people had already used it, but it was a new one for me. There are a ton of good music vids aren't there?!

Armadillos are cute! And there are some really cute cartoon/stuffed dolls of the animal :)

I realize I should add Mumford and Sons to the list. I had definitely heard of them before watching a Supernatural vid to Little Lion Man, but I wasn't familiar with their music.

The Phillips Phillips song sounds kind of familiar, but I'm not sure where from.

There are lots of really amazing fanvids out there. I just saw a totally badass Twilight vid. I've never seen the movies, and only read the first book, but I was still able to appreciate most of it.

I get most of my music from fanvids these days, so they are important to me.

Armadillos are bizarre.

I discovered Tom McRae via fanvids, too! That amazing Katniss one set to Boy With The Bubblegun.

I remember a Buffy someone on my flist talking about this, and fanmixes, and how when people asked her what kind of music she liked she always wanted to say '...music that reminds other people of fictional vampires?'

I've seen that Katniss vid! I actually originally discovered McRae from Torchwood vids.

Ha ha. That would be a good answer to that question! I always say, "I don't know", which is not very helpful.
