20. Blind Pilot - 3 Rounds And A Sound (2008)
Notable Tracks: The Story I Heard, The Bitter End, 3 Rounds and a Sound For those of you who decided to take my advice and listen to some DMB while reading this (any assistance to help you through this), here is another band that might pique your interests. Blind Pilot is a fairly simple indie band that relies on storytelling, subtlety, and forced nostalgia to win their way onto your next playlist. Some people who know me well would probably be shocked at this countdown thus far (don't worry, I won't disappoint you), but what top music countdown would be complete without a true indie band making an appearance. For this particular list, Blind Pilot is my top choice for an unsigned, lesser-known band. If you're looking for a band to head-bang or dance to (since those are your only two options, of course), then this isn't the right band for you. However, if you are looking for a mellow, heartfelt, lyrical band to satiate your desires for musical tranquility, then look no further because this band won't disappoint.
