Post No. 3: Twenty One Pilots

 Post No. 3: Twenty One Pilots

    Since I covered my current favorite musical group in my previous blog post, it's only fair that today I cover my previous favorite artist, Twenty One Pilots. I used to listen to Twenty One Pilots for hours on end, so much so that I ended up getting burnt out from their music, to the point where I practically can't stand them anymore. However, I hope that one day my listening senses will be returned, and I once again will be able to enjoy this group that was once so beloved to me. 

    The group's legacy truly began in 2007, when founding member and current lead singer Tyler Joseph recorded his first full-length musical album as a high school student. Only much later would the band evolve to its current state, featuring only two musicians: Joseph and drummer Josh Dun. This fact comes as a surprise to many, who perhaps jokingly ask why the group only has two members if they are called "Twenty One" Pilots. 

    Despite the widespread fame the group has now realized, Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun came from extremely humble beginnings, performing small local concerts in friend's basements in their hometown of Columbus, Ohio while their mothers handed out free CDs to college students within the area. Since the release of their debut self-titled album (2009) and Regional at Best (2011) they've gone on to release critically acclaimed albums Vessel, (2013) Blurryface, (2015) and Trench (2018). 

       I would say that my top 10 favorite songs from Twenty One Pilots are (in no particular order) as follows:

1. Nico and the Niners

2. Message Man

3. Ride

4. Stressed Out

5. Neon Gravestones

6.  Car Radio

7. Heathens

8. Heavydirtysoul

9. Doubt

10. Lane Boy
