Music recommendations

Right, I have a feeling this'll be mostly me fangirling over my favorite bands, but whatever. Let's get started. Oh, and bands'll in this list'll be organized by what language they usually sing in.

Russian: (I know, I know. But you saw it coming, didn't you?)
1) Ария (Aria.) Actually, I think they translated a few of their songs into English. If you want good, old Russian metal, this is for you! By the way, they tend to like having a story behind their song. Like, one of them is most likely a story of some guy saying his goodbyes to his girlfriend/wife. But figuring out the song's story is up to you.
2) Аквариум (Aquarium) Their music is mostly extremely pretty and relaxing. Their music stands out because they only play instruments usually used in folk songs (like harmonica!) and sing, obviously. But they do have some lively and catchy songs as well!
3) ДДТ (DDT) They play some great rock with some lyrics on themes that got them banned from playing at some places. (Read, some of their music deals with somewhat anti-governmental themes!) So, feeling rebellious?
 That's all the Russian bands I listen to most often...

English:
1) Rise Against! (I sincerely apologize to any of my best friends who're facepalming right now. But you know I love their music a lot!) They play some of the greatest punk rock I heard! Most of their songs tend to deal with either political or social themes. However, Paper Wings is about a journey and All the Good Left Undone is a love song of sorts! So, not all!
2) Owl City. I like Adam Young's music because occasionally, even I need a break from metal. His music is rather catchy and fun to sing along to, so...
3) Skillet. A great Christian rock band, but don't let their genre stop you! Not all of their music is religious! In fact, all songs in their Awake album deals with non-religious themes!
4) I occasionally listen to Linkin Park. They play alternative rock that I like to listen to when things aren't going my way.
5) Lunatica. They play excellent melodic metal! It's fairly soothing for my ears and it tends to relax me! Also, I tend to get less frustrated while drawing while listening to them, so it's great drawing music as well!

Thanks for reading this list! See ya!
