We spoke next with Jessie, a year ahead of Colson at Arlington's Yorktown High School. She said she likes alternative rock and country.
"I do a lot of My Chemical Romance or, like, Toby Keith."
"That is so eclectic. I mean, they are like the opposite of each other. So what My Chemical Romance song would you suggest I play this week?"
"I really like "Planetary Go."
Gabe is a sixteen year old friend of both Jessie and Colson.
"My favorite music right now is either Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, or Bob Marley."
We thanked Gabe for the classic rock choices. But we wondered why he happened to look back in time for good music.
"It's really just'hellip;it's what I like to play on the guitar. And, that's what appeals to me."
Gabe suggested we give a listen to Bob Marley perform "Stir It Up." We were happy to honor the request.
Finally, we spoke with Amanda. The eleventh grader had just finished exercising at Yorktown with two of her friends. She has been listening a pretty far out band --- like far out in the Atlantic Ocean.
"Well the last music that I listened to was "Of Monsters and Men" which is an Icelandic group. I just downloaded their song "Mountain Sound."
And here it is.
