When I reached high school, I was still listening to bands I had grown up with - and was actually often made fun of for it. What high school boy out there was listening to Boyz II Men before a high school basketball game? Um, that would be me.
Anyway, my musical preferences have since blossomed and I have put together a list of my Top 10 Favorite Bands. These are my favorite bands (not solo artists), so of course yours will differ. So without further adieu her they are in reverse order:
