Outside of X Factor which artists and bands are you listening to these days?
Thought it might be fun to have a thread where we discuss which artists and bands we listen to other than acts from X Factor acts.

I'm absolutely obsessed with Tori Kelly.
Her latest EP FOREWORD is absolutely stunning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXJAp0s3tuM |

I'm another who doesn't really listen to recent music very much, apart from Bastille, Ellie Goulding and Lana Del Ray, and a few songs by Adele, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, et al now and again.
Aside from them, my favourites are The Smiths, Manic Street Preachers, The Libertines (obviously), Bloc Party, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Blondie, Oasis, Pulp, Fall Out Boy, Bon Iver.... |

Always Metallica, Evanescence and bands of the like.
I'm waiting for new stuff from System of a Down and Nightwish and I'm still hoping that Faith No More will have one more studio album in them, assuming they can make their reunions last longer than 6 months or so !! My all time favourite track is Midlife Crisis by Faith No More. |

This has made me realise that I listen to a lot of the past X Factor contestants!
The 1975, The Vaccines, Jake Bugg, Demi Lovato, McFly (MCBUSTED!!), Ed Sheeran, Fall Out Boy, Katy Perry and i'm sure I could add many to this list. |

What would be interesting would be if people also mentioned which was their favourite of this years acts to see if/how they correlate. Some I know (i.e. WHW is quite a prominent Samfan)
