" While scrolling through the artists on your iPod, you may find yourself stuck between two different bands when you get to the letter &amp;quot;P&amp;quot;, The Plain White T&amp;#039;s and The Pretty Reckless. Both bands recently released FANTASTIC full-length albums, but are completely different in genre and style. But based on your musical preferences, I can definitely help you pick one. The Plain White T&amp;#039;s, most famous for their adorable, acoustic love song &amp;quot;Hey There Delilah,&amp;quot; are exactly how you remember them... chill. Their soft, fun lyrics are still a mainstay in their newest album, Wonders Of The Younger, and they continue to maintain their pop/rock/alternative vibe. The PWT&amp;#039;s still deliver the songs that melt girls hearts, such as &amp;quot;Our Song,&amp;quot; where lead Tom Higgenson sings, &amp;quot;I just want to make you happy/ So come and grab me and love me madly,&amp;quot; and their current single &amp;quot;Rhythm of Love&amp;quot; is comparable to the happy-go-lucky &amp;quot;Hey Soul Sister&amp;quot; by Train. The album has everything from up-tempo anthems to ballad-like love songs. Whether you&amp;#039;re chilling in your room doing homework or hanging out with your friends at the beach, Wonders Of The Younger is an easy listen and can appeal to everyone. My favs: &amp;quot;Irrational Anthem,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Broken Record,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Last Breath,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Wonders of The Younger,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Make It Up As You Go.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Does what I&amp;#039;m wearing seem to shock you? Well, that&amp;#039;s okay.&amp;quot; Gossip Girl star, Taylor Momsen, is  way more than all the tabloids and gossip blogs make her out to be. Her band, The Pretty Reckless, definitely reflects her look, but will surprise you at first listen. It&amp;#039;ll be hard to remember that she&amp;#039;s only seventeen years old, once you hear her powerful and soulful vocals. (And she was only sixteen while writing and recording this album.) The eleven-track CD, Light Me Up, includes her first single &amp;quot;Makes Me Wanna Die,&amp;quot; and her latest, &amp;quot;My Medicine.&amp;quot; Taylor isn&amp;#039;t producing cookie-cutter-pop music. The Pretty Reckless&amp;#039; genre is rock. Their music expresses a feeling of teen-angst and heartache with haunting and addictive lyrics. Don&amp;#039;t let her dark eye make-up, fishnets, and long blonde hair fool you. &amp;quot;Do you understand who I am/ Do you wanna know?&amp;quot; Momsen sings in &amp;quot;Just Tonight.&amp;quot; Taylor breaks it down in the simple, melodic, &amp;quot;You&amp;quot; and revs it up in &amp;quot;Factory Girl.&amp;quot; Light Me Up is the perfect album to rock out to in your car or while your getting ready for a night out with your girls. My favs: &amp;quot;Makes Me Wanna Die,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Just Tonight,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;You,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Nothing Left To Lose.&amp;quot; So, if you&amp;#039;re in a darker mood, listen to Light Me Up. In a cheerier place, listen to Wonders Of The Younger. Both albums are equally relatable, addicting to listen to, and packed full of great lyrics. The Plain White T&amp;#039;s are currently bringing their circus, &amp;quot;Wonders Of The Younger Tour&amp;quot; across the U.S., while The Pretty Reckless prepares for their tour starting next month.
