Taken from soulskorpion's last.fm thing. Take your top 50 overall artists and answer the following questions:
1. How did you get into 25? (D)
midnite_rain told me to listen to them and linked me to some stuff of theirs. I wouldn't say I'm "into" them exactly but I listen to them every now and then.
2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Sugizo) Luna. Which is actually my favourite of his solo songs that I've heard, so that was a nice first impression XD
3. What’s your favorite lyric by 33? (32- Cake, Elixir) Ooh good bands for this. Too good, actually, let me just link lyrics to whole songs. Even that's hard, but I think I'm gonna say Comfort Eagle for Cake and- I can't actually find Elixir lyrics online. So, from River and Moon (from memory, can't be bothered to go get the lyrics booklet right now):
"Something's not coming together,
Something's not coming through clear,
I know that I've opened my heart now,
It's not only rejection I fear.
You stand there, so understanding,
A sensible boy, just like you,
You say you've been misleading,
It's not so, it's not even true.
For that night that we had by the river,
When I sat in the rain beside you,
Not knowing where we started or finished,
I felt so complete beside you.
But the moon keeps on rising and shining,
The river runs deep in the night,
You say you've been misleading
And I say, "Who is mislead?"
So they came, and they took you,
And you cried in the night,
I was there in your dreams,
I was right by your side,
I was there in your dreams,
I was ready to fight,
Use me, I'll protect you,
I will be there in your mind,
I will be there in your dreams,
I'll be right by your side,
Use me, I'll protect you,
I will be there in your mind,
I'll be there in your dreams..."
My real favourite Elixir lyrics are from Overlap, but that's an Ani Difranco cover so I can't say it's theirs really.
4. What is your favorite album by 49? (50- Nightmare) Killer Show. It's the first time I've really been seriously impressed with their music, so I hope they keep it up now.
5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (rice) NOT FOR LACK OF TRYING, but none. There are two I want, and spent my entire time in Japan looking for. I should have bought them when I went to see them live but I was sick and it was my first concert and I didn't really know what was going on so I didn't think to :(
6. What is your favorite song by 50? (Nightmare) The Last Show.
7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (The Superjesus) Not really. They have a couple of saddish songs but they don't really affect me.
8. What is your favorite album by 15? (hide) Psyence.
9. What is your favorite song by 5? (L'arc~en~ciel) Ibara no Namida.
10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (Psycho le cemu) I'm actually really not sure how they got up so high here, since there's only really a few songs of theirs that I really like. But it's impossible to listen to Gekiai Merry-Go-Round and not be happy, so that.
11. What is your favorite album by 40? (39- The Superjesus) Only got the one.
12. What is your favorite song by 10? (Dir en grey) Er, The Final? The other two that spring to mind have long Japanese titles that I can't remember orz.
13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (X) The weekend that I was in Tokyo to see them was possibly the best weekend of my life.
14. What is your favorite song by 38? (The Idea of North) Good question. After All for the lyrics, We Will Find A Way for the sound. But I love a lot of their songs so it's hard to say.
15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (P'unk~en~ciel) All of them, that's what they're there for.
16. How many times have you seen 25 live? (D) I haven't.
17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (Miyavi) For some reason he's got a couple of tags to himself. Night in Girl was the first song I heard by him.
18. What is your favorite album by 11? (12012) The only one I've heard.
19. Who is a favorite member of 1? (Gackt) You's my favourite member of his band!
20. Have you ever seen 14 live? (Acid Black Cherry) I only got into them after I came back from Japan :( I'd love to see Yasu live now though.
21. What is a good memory involving 27? (Joss Whedon) Watching every episode of Firefly twice because I wanted to see them too badly to wait and watch them with my brother, so I watched them myself and then again with him.
22. What is your favorite song by 16? (Sheila on 7) Berai.
23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Killing Heidi) Uh, probably Other Side for RHCP, and Mascara for Killing Heidi.
24. What is your favorite album by 18? (abingdon boys school) They only have the one! But they're releasing a new one soon I think :D
25. What is your favorite song by 21? (george) Spawn.
26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? (LUNA SEA) Rosier, since I'd heard of that one so that's the first one I listened to when I bought their best of.
27. What is your favorite album by 3? (Miyavi) Miyabiuta.
28. What is your favorite song by 2? (Nightmare) Done this one already!
29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? (Elixir) They performed River and Moon at a george concert before Elixir was even really a thing, so that I guess.
30. What is your favorite song by 8? (Gazette) Uhhhh not sure. Maybe Silly God Disco just because it has fun fanservice when they do it live and I got to see it~
31. How many times have you seen 17 live? (Yoshiki) I've never seen him performing solo but I've seen him as part of X twice.
32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? (Hikaru Nanase, Versailles) All the ones I have for the former, since they remind me of the animes I got them from, and I don't think so for Versailles. It's not really happy music.
33. What is your favorite album by 12? (Malice Mizer) Merveilles.
34. What is the worst song by 45? (46- Rob Dougan) Um I dunno. I usually skip Clubbed to Death, so maybe that. Which is funny since it was the only song of his that I knew for a while since that's the one they played on JJJ all the time.
35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? (Nighmare, Repo! Soundtrack) Possibly Raven Loudspeaker for Nightmare? Somewhere around there anyway. I just listened to the Repo! soundtrack straight through so whatever was first on there.
36. What is your favorite album by 48? Already answered since I don't have 48 or 49.
37. How many times have you seen 42 live? (41- Anggun, Something for Kate, Symphony X) None for either of them. If I count up from the number I hit Versailles though and I've seen them briefly before.
38. What is your favorite song by 36? (MINMI) Shiki no Uta, that's the only song of theirs I have.
39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? (Bad tag for AnCafe) Good question, no idea.
40. What is your favorite album by 7? (HYDE) Faith.
41. Is there a song by 31 that makes you happy? (Pierrot) Yuuyami Suicide. Despite the title it's actually about not being able to go through with it, and the music's almost cheerful.
42. What is your favorite album by 41? Only heard one album for each of them.
43. What is your favorite song by 24? (Miyavi) Kimi ni Negai wo.
