My Musical Taste

Explain and ilustrate with examples your personal musical preferences.

Personally I enjoy listening to all types of music. However there is one particular band that stands out for me, Train. Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, California formed in 1994. Their first album ‘Train’ was released in 1998 with the hit ‘Meet Virginia’. Their second album ‘Drops of Jupiter’ was released in 2001 and brought the band a massive amount of popularity. The album also went double platinum in the United States and Canada and is the bands best selling album to date. Their third album ‘My private nation’ released in 2003 made it platinum with the hit ‘Calling all Angels’. The band then released a fourth album in 2006 called ‘For Me, It’s you’. However this album was not commercially successful and so ‘Train’ went on a three year break.


Train re-united in 2009 and released their latest album ‘Save Me San Francisco’. The first single from the album ‘Hey Soul Sister’ became the bands most successful single so far.

I also really enjoy listening to ‘The Script’. ‘The Script’ is an alternative rock band from Dublin, Ireland. The bands most recent album was released on the 13th of September 2010. The album is called ‘Science & Faith’. The first single from the album is called ‘For the first time’.
