Well, I guess I'll do both. My favorite song from the soundtracks is "Full Moon" by The Black Ghosts. And my favorite song overall is "Selkies: The Endless Obsession" by Between the Buried and Me. They are my favorite band -- best drescribed as progressive or math metal.

Even though my favorite band is a metal band, I don't listen to as much metal as I once did. I would say the Twilight soundtracks influenced me to listen to different music somewhat. My taste in music had started to shift away from metal. I mean, I a lot of my music could be considered Death Metal, Speed Metal, or Black Metal. When I watched Twilight on DVD my taste pretty much had lightened up -- I stopped liking music in which I couldn't understand the lyrics, lol.

So right now I listen to a lot of Indie rock -- a general term. Some of my favorite bands now: The National, Tegan and Sara, City and Colour, Editors, Band of Horses, Interpol, Mumford & Sons, Chevelle, White Lies, Iron & Wine, Foals, Akira Yamaoka, Muse, Johnny Cash, Tool, A Perfect Circle. I'm reading this off my Last.FM music profile. I have a ton more I could list.

I would say the first Twilight did help in me discover some new bands, but after that I found my own.
