1.How did you get into 29? (Vampire Weekend)
Heard 'A-Punk' on Pitchfork I believe.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Fleet Foxes)
Pretty sure it was 'Mykonos.'

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (Say Anything)
So now I'm forging ahead past all the plutocrats who sold me out/go sob in your bed/if life is twice as pretty once you're dead then send me a card/I'm still the optimist though it is hard.

4. How did you get into 49? (Explosions in the Sky)
Recommended by a college friend with good music taste.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (M83)
Saturdays = Youth on vinyl.

6. What is your favorite song by 50? (Boards of Canada)
An Eagle in Your Mind is pretty chill.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (Burial)
Untrue makes me nostalgic sometimes.

8. What is your favorite album by 15? (Animal Collective)
Merriweather Post Pavilion easily.

9. What is your favorite song by 5? (The Clash)
London Calling.

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (TV on the Radio)
Wolf Like Me makes me shred my vocal chords and go wild each time I hear it.

11. What is the worst song by 40? (Neutral Milk Hotel)
I honestly don't think they have it in them to write poorly.

12. What is your favorite song by 10? (Arcade Fire)
Really tough question but I'd have to say Rebellion (Lies).

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (The Strokes)
Listening to them with various people that I never see anymore.

14. What is your favorite song by 38? (Aphex Twin)
I'd have to say Cock/Ver10

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (of Montreal)
Most of their songs are built for happiness, but in particular Gronlandic Edit.

16. Is there a song by 25 that makes you sad? (Interpol)
Untitled makes me feel a bit sad sometimes, mostly because I relate to it in a strange way.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (The Gaslight Anthem)
First heard of them from reading absolutepunk.net. Couldn't stand all the hype that was surrounding them on that site so I stayed away for a while. This was a mistake. One day I broke down and listened to The '59 Sound. Great decision.

18. What's your favorite lyric by 11? (Morrissey)
So many great ones from the master of the mope. "America, it brought you the hamburger/Well America, you know where you can shove your hamburger/and don't you wonder why in Estonia they say/hey you big fat pig, you fat pig, you fat pig" always makes me laugh.

19. Who is a favorite member of 1? (The Beatles)
John Lennon was the greatest Beatle. There is no doubt in my mind to this fact. He wrote the greatest songs, had the best voice, and was the leader of the most wonderful movements. I can understand arguments for McCartney and will entertain thoughts on Harrison. Ringo was Ringo.

20. Is there a song by 14 that makes you happy? (John Lennon)
Most of Lennon's songs make me happy. In particular though, Give Peace a Chance for its obvious message and Oh Yoko! for its cute utter genius hilarity.

Discovering the genre of shoegaze thanks to Loveless and realizing that I'd never find a better album in the genre.

22. What is your favorite song by 16? (Bloc Party)
Like Eating Glass.

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (The Killers)
Smile Like You Mean It, and I still think of that song in the context of that time and think of the people I was with whenever I hear it. Because of this, I'm not a big fan of it.

24. What is your favorite album by 18? (Air)
Moon Safari is their masterpiece.

25. What is your favorite song by 21? (Fleet Foxes)
Mykonos and White Winter Hymnal tie for it.

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? (Kanye West)
Gold Digger, and I fucking hated it. This changed one day.

27. What is your favorite album by 3? (Radiohead)
Wonderful question. OK Computer dominates of course, but they all offer something amazing to music.

28. What is you favorite song by 2? (Brand New)
Tough question, most of them have been my favorite at some time or another. Right at the moment I would have to say Sowing Season (Yeah)

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? (Super Furry Animals)
I want to say Juxtapozed With U. Can't be certain though.

30. What is you favorite song by 8? (Led Zeppelin)
Lately I've been really, really enjoying the sounds of D'yer Mak'er

31. How many times have you seen 17 live? (The Smiths)
Never, since they broke up before I was born and Morrissey would apparently rather eat his testicles than reunite them.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? (Notorious B.I.G.)
Juicy makes me happy on multiple levels.

33. How did you get into 12? (Iron & Wine)
He was playing in a music store one night and I asked who it was because I really enjoyed it.

34. What is the worst song by 45? (Lily Allen)
Chinese is kind of awkward I guess.

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? (Death From Above 1979)
Blood on Our Hands after watching the music video.

36. What is the first song you ever heard by 48? (Imogen Heap)
Like most people, the first song I heard from her was Hide and Seek. Her voice enchants.

37. How many times have you seen 42 live? (Jay-Z)
Never.

38. What is you favorite song by 36? (Joy Division)
Love Will Tear Us Apart

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? (Daft Punk)

40. What is you favorite album by 7? (Modest Mouse)
The Moon and Antarctica is one of the best albums of the '90s.

41. Is there a song by 31 that makes you happy? (The Streets)
Turn the Page is pretty epic.

Seven Nation Army

50. What is your favorite song by 20? (Grizzly Bear)
