When I first created my account here on Last.fm, I wasn't really expecting that I would come across these huge heaps of awesome music. I didn't really expect Last.fm to give me so much. But now, almost a half year later, I can surely tell that I do not regret that I created an account on this site!
I've become acquainted with LOTS of great bands, that I enjoy listening to and that have changed my taste in music.

Here is a list of some of them:

The Dillinger Escape Plan
Converge
Maximum the Hormone
Machinae Supremacy
Paint It Black
SikTh
Architects
Electric Mary
Black Light Burns
Ill Niño
Walls of Jericho
Knives Exchanging Hands
You, Me, and Everyone We Know
Crime in Stereo
Scamp
Tool
Spineshank
Korpiklaani
Johnny Clegg
Trap Them
Ticking Bombs
Genghis Tron

... And a lot more.

THANK YOU LAST.FM!

figured i'd start to keep track..
