Top Rated Rock Bands By College Students

Many college students have different tastes when it comes to their favorite types of music. While some like country music, other college students like rap. While some like rap others prefer rock. Some even prefer a combination on a variety of different types of music. At this time of year most college students have packed up their favorites CDs or their iPod downloaded with their favorite tunes and headed back to school for the year. While college students may have different tastes in styles of music, one item that they cannot live without out is their iPod.

1. Green Day
2. System of a Down

Isn't it sort of amusing that some of the favorite rock bands are rockers that were rocking way before some college students were even born? I guess some of them were rocking while they were still in the womb or just a twinkle in their mother's eye!

A few rockers were recently honored with a Teen Choice Award for 2006 in the following categories:

• Best Single went to Fall Out Boy for Dance, Dance.
• Choice Music: Rock Group went to Fall Out Boy.
• Choice Rock Track went to Fall Out Boy for Dance, Dance.

So who are the favored rockers by college students? It seems to fully depend on who asks the question and how you ask the question. Whether it is their favorite rock song for the moment or their favorite rocker of all-time just depends on the circumstances! And with the MTV Awards airing tonight the favorite rock bands for college students may have changed by tomorrow morning.
