1. How did you get into 29? (Princess Superstar - 553)
I'm not sure. I've heard her song "Bad Babysitter" for the first time some years ago, but I've never payed much attention to her music untill recently.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Santogold - 770)
"Les artistes", I suppose. French title was what attracted my attention.

3. What’s your favorite lyric by 33? (Epica joint with Eurythmics at #32, Epica reached this later - 536)
In fact, my favourite song of them is off vocals.

4. What is your favorite album by 49? (Xandria - 395)
I think that'd be "Kill the Sun", their debut.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Lady GaGa - 1 002)
Well, she released only one and I'm the happy owner of its Polish edition.

6. What is your favorite song by 50? (Fleetwood Mac - 379)
"Little Lies" - the melody is somewhat happy, but the lyrics are not. I like contrasts.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (Emiliana Torrini - 478)
Yes, "Gollum's Song" from the LOTR OST.

8. What is your favorite album by 15? (Cristina Branco - 928)
"Ulisses", but "Sensus" is also great.

9. What is your favorite song by 5? (Tujiko Noriko - 1 689)
"Bebe", due to many great memories I associate with this, and "Shayou", which - contrary to its lyrics - brings me back the faith in people.

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (Leaves' Eyes - 1 555)
Yes, "Ankomst". It reminds me that everything comes back.

11. What is your favorite album by 40? (Lacrimosa - 470)
"Elodia", it's so epic!

12. What is your favorite song by 10? (M.I.A. - 1 258)
"Bamboo Banga", it's the song that made me like her.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (Natasha St-Pier - 539)
"Nos rendez-vous", her single, was heavily airing in Polish radiostations when I went abroad alone for the first time. The trip was great and this song remains connected to it.

14. What is your favorite song by 38? (Sheryfa Luna - 495)
"Aime-moi". Yeah, I know I've misspeled the tag.

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (Lacuna Coil - 832)
No, they all are rather making me sad.

16. How many times have you seen 25 live? (Within Temptation - 620)
Never and - considering what they did with their music - not going to.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (Eminem - 701)
It was "Stan", his masterpiece with Dido. However, it was not then when I got into him, he appeared in my charts recently as a result of my best friend's influence upon me.

18. What is your favorite album by 11? (Adela Popescu - 1 087)
"Lacrimi de iubire", as it contains my favourite songs of her.

19. Who is a favorite member of 1? (Theatre of Tragedy - 2 539)
It was Liv Kristine, before she was dropped. Any replacement service as of now.

20. Have you ever seen 14 live? (Emilie Simon - 930)
No, but I'd like to see her.

21. What is a good memory involving 27? (Paul Romero & Rob King)
As it was in the case of Lacuna Coil, the new age-feel of Paul Romero & Rob King's tracks makes me rather sad and is not a kind of "accompanying music" - no memories linked.

22. What is your favorite song by 16? (Liv Kristine - 922)
It's "This Is Us", one of the best upbeat love songs I've ever heard.

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (Danity Kane - 423)
I'd say "Ride for You".

24. What is your favorite album by 18? (Enigma - 892)
"A posteriori". Rare choice, but I like this ethereal, ambient atmosphere made by songs from this album.

25. What is your favorite song by 21? (M83 - 797)
"Coloring the Void", if it's possible to call a cry song a "favourite".

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? (Rasputina - 588)
"Transylvanian Concubine" in a collaboration with Marilyn Manson. And I hate it.

27. What is your favorite album by 3? (Björk - 2 225)
"Vespertine". Especially in the winter time.

28. What is you favorite song by 2? (Tori Amos - 2 422)
"Caught a Lite Sneeze", and "Not the Red Baron", and "Taxi Ride", and "Sister Janet", and "Space Dog", and...

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? (Eurythmics - 536)
I'm not sure. It would probably be "Sweet Dreams" or "Here Comes the Rain Again".

30. What is you favorite song by 8? (Nightwish - 1 438)
There are three contestants struggling for this title, respectively "Nemo", "Ghost Love Score" and "Sleeping Sun".

31. How many times have you seen 17 live? (t.A.T.u. - 921)
Never, although I had a possibility once. I just don't like gigs.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? (Bang Gang - 445)
No, it's a "give me the tissue I'm going to weep" band.

33. What is you favorite album by 12? (Activ - 1 008)
“Motive", I mean, it's international edition. And "Sunete", more recently.

34. What is the worst song by 45? (Mylène Farmer - 431)
I'd say it's "Libertine". The cover of it by Kate Ryan is much better.

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? (Goya - 529)
It was "Bo ja". However, I was unaware that it's their song.

36. What is you favorite album by 48? (Sirenia - 409)
"An Elixir of Existence", which contains also my favourite - instrumental - song of them, "Seven Sirens and a Silver Tear". The rest of Sirenia's albums are somehow mediocre.

37. How many times have you seen 42 live? (Zazie - 448)
Never, but she sounds in studio almost the same.

38. What is you favorite song by 36? (Benassi Bros. - 517)
"Rumenian", it was also the first song in Romanian I've ever heard.

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? (Angela Maria Forero - 557)
"Fiera inquieta", an opening to the telenovela "Pasión de gavilanes".

40. What is your favorite album by 7? (Nelly Furtado - 1 500)
I'd say "Folklore", but the forthcoming Spanish album might reach the top only due to the language.

41. Is there a song by 31 that makes you happy? (Bat for Lashes - 538)
Yes, yes, YES! It's the first question of this type where I can say "yes". It's "Daniel", the leading single of her new album "Two Suns". Magical.

42. What is your favorite album by 41? (Kamelot - 454)
I'm not into their albums, usually I listen to a mix of songs from "Epica" and "The Black Halo", the rest remaining somewhat unknown.

43. What is your favorite song by 24? (Sigur Rós - 659)
It's "Sæglópur". But all the songs from their album "Takk..." are great.

44. What is a good memory you have involving 46? (Anja Garbarek - 430)
Her song "Can I Keep Him" is a part of a bigger set of songs that bring me back my first love.

45. What is your favorite song by 35? (Kate Bush - 521)
That'd be "Get Out of My House", partially inspired by "The Shining" of Steven King.

46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy? (Mediæval Bæbes - 1 337)
Yes, their version of the Occitan folk song "Quan vey la lauzeta" always causes that I smile.

47. What is your favorite album by 4? (múm - 1 806)
"Finally We Are No One" and its Icelandic counterpart, "Loksins erum við engin". It was the very first múm's album I've got. All other albums and their EP "Please Smile My Nose Bleed" are also superb, but rather not prepared for easy listening.

48. Who is a favorite member of 37? (Kenza Farah - 497)
This question is irrelevant in this case.

49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43? (Reni Jusis - 446)
Her very first chart-topping single "Zakręcona".

50. How many albums do you own by 20? (Madonna - 805)
I've got two - "American Life" and "Ray of Light".

now before you purist hipsters get your panties in a twist, this is not meant to be an exhaustive cataloging of every awesome electronic record by every artist known to man.

neither does the partial absence of a discography intended as a slight to the remainder of the artists' body of work, nor to imply those albums are inferior to the ones found here.

this is simply a batch of albums that, if you like a few of the albums listed here, you're very likely to find more of interest from elsewhere on the list.

take it for what it is.

aslo, if you think i'm missing some important ones, feel free to make a post with artist and album tags to fill in the gaps.

Just a quick little library update with some recent listening thoughts...

As of late, I've kind of been in an electronic, funk, post-rock, instrumental, dance mood with some classic rock mixed in. Trying to take a break from all of the heavier stuff, but they still manage to find my playlists. Slowly, some decent old-school rap, classical, and 90's music has been making its way to my library again. I have managed to surpass where I was in terms of capacity before my hard drives failed a couple months ago, but I know I'm missing some important stuff. We'll see what happens in a month or so.

Also, I just found out about Ronald Jenkees yesterday from a friend. Some of his tracks are pretty wicked. I really enjoy Stay Crunchy. It is pretty much what I've been listening to the past month in a nutshell. Some really funky electronic stuff with a slick beat. Can't shake it.


Just want to thank chrispino, who has put up with my recent cravings in the car. We pretty much listen to the same stuff anyway, but I know sometimes he looks over and is like "wtf". Gotta love scrobbling tracks on the go!
