Compare And Contrast Fall Out Boy And Panic At The Disco

Fall Out Boy vs Panic! At The Disco

The great philosopher Plato once said; “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” There are many other people who had been given “charm and gaiety” to their lives by music, so much so that they started making their own.
