  • Top 10 at the End of 2009

    Nov 29 2009, 16h08 por leodegraf

    1. Rush
    Rank in 2007: 1 (unchanged)
    First Song: TocarWorking Man. Must have heard this on FM radio in Toronto circa 1975.
    First Love: TocarIn the End. My first entry into Rush was the just released All The World's A Stage album. "In the End" was my first favourite.
    Current Favorite: Armor and Sword. From 2007's Snakes & Arrows, the guys show that they're still rocking and writing great music after 30+ years in the business.
    Trend: Still my favourite band.

    2. Porcupine Tree
    Rank in 2007: 2 (unchanged)
    First Song: Blackest Eyes Saw that these guys opened for Yes. Bought In Absentia and was hooked.
    First Love: Trains The best track on In Absentia, IMHO.
    Current Favorite: Time Flies from The Incident.
    Trend: A return to form with The Incident. Awesome concert as well!

    3. Dream Theater
    Rank in 2007: 3 (unchanged)
    First Song: As I Am Blew me away.
    First Love: As I Am
    Current Favorite: The Count of Tuscany off of the new album is great.
    Trend: Still listening to a lot of DT. I have to say the new album is a notch behind Systematic Chaos.

    4. The Tragically Hip
    Rank in 2007: 2 (up 1)
    First Song: TocarLittle Bones On Much Music when it came out.
    First Love: TocarLittle Bones Was the official party tune of that summer.
    Current Favorite: It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken Not the typical Hip song; great guitar work.
    Trend: I finally purchased World Container. It's OK, but like Rush, I'll continue to support them for a long time.

    5. The Tea Party
    Rank in 2005: 4 (down 1)
    First Song: The River Again on Much Music.
    First Love: The River Sounded like nothing else at the time.
    Current Favorite: Halcyon Days Probably the best mix of East and West rock.
    Trend: Unfortunately, TP has disbanded so without new music, I expect them to slip down the charts over time. Great band though.

    6. Genesis
    Rank in 2007: 6(unchanged)
    First Song: TocarDance on a Volcano In someone's basement circa 1976.
    First Love: Follow You, Follow Me On FM radio
    Current Favorite: TocarWatcher of the Skies Back to the Gabriel days for my favourite.
    Trend: Still a classic band.

    7. Yes
    Rank in 2007: 9 (up 2)
    First Song: TocarRoundabout Again, FM radio.
    First Love: TocarClose to the Edge It's a toss-up between this and...
    Current Favorite: TocarAnd You And I
    Trend: Kind of surprised that they have moved up in two years since I have not purchased any music of theirs in some time.

    8. U2
    Rank in 2007: 10 (up 2)
    First Song: TocarGloria On campus radio circa 1981.
    First Love: Where The Streets Have No Name I obsessed over this album while living in London, UK in 1986-1989.
    Current Favorite: TocarMagnificent Good tune from their newest album.
    Trend: Again solidly in the Top 10 and rising.

    9. Coheed and Cambria
    Rank in 2007: 7 (down 2)
    First Song: TocarThe Crowing Heard this on a flight home from Tokyo on American Airlines of all places.
    First Love: TocarThe Crowing Again, C&C sounded like nothing else at the time.
    Current Favorite: TocarWelcome Home The new album rocks.
    Trend: Still like their stuff a lot, however #4 in 2006 was probably just a timing thing.

    10. Sarah McLachlan
    Rank in 2007: - (-)
    First Song: TocarVox Heard this one on CBC radio back when it was first released.
    First Love: TocarVox I had a sense that she would be good.
    Current Favorite: TocarFear Great track.
    Trend: I now have a Bose iPod speaker system in the dining room so my wife and I are listening to more SMcL in the evenings.

    Take care,
    Barry

  • Eclectic test..

    Nov 5 2009, 4h05 por xFabby

    First, make a list of your top-20 artists overall. Then, for each of these artists, add the 7 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, count up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A score of 7 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 140 represents an extremely varied one.

  • Music Survey

    Nov 3 2009, 12h44 por Anneli_Elisabet

    Which bands/artist do you own the most albums by?
    *counting from memory* four Alanis Morissette ... five Queen ... five Håkan Hellström ... six Rufus Wainwright ... Yeah, Rufus it is.

    What was the last song you listened to?
    Leonard Cohen - TocarSo Long, Marianne

    What's in your CD player right now?
    My CD player is on the other side of the sea, so nothing. Latest album I bought and uploaded to my laptop was Lily Allen - It's Not Me, It's You.

    What's your favorite local band/group?
    The Lloyd, I guess.

    What was the last show you attended?
    Peace & Love 2009! Go Borlänge! ;)

    What's the most musically involved you have ever been?
    I sing. Choirs, mostly. I've had singing lessons, and a few piano lessons. Oh, and cello lessons, waaaay back. I have a standing invitation to sing the solo of "O Holy Night" on midnight mass in my home church and when I was a kid, I used to write little songs to amuse myself. I still make up nonsensical improvs when I'm out walking without my walkman ... I think that's about it.

    What show are you looking forward to?
    Rufus Wainwright and Family, "A Not So Silent Night" in Royal Albert Hall in December.

    What is your favorite band shirt?
    For looks and comfort - my David Bowie - Aladdin Sane T-shirt.
    For treasured memories - my Bruce Springsteen - Magic Tour T-shirt.

    What musician would you like to hang out with for a day?
    Oh, dear. Rufus maybe. Or The Boss. Or Leonard Cohen. Too Hard!

    Who is one musician or group you wish would make a comeback?
    So many people I listen to are dead! :( Can I wish people back from the grave? Cause that'd be Jeff Buckley then.

    Who is one band/artist you've never seen live but always wanted to?
    Used to be The Boss. Now that I've seen him, I don't know. I'll go for Jeff Buckley again. Or Antony and the Johnsons, among the living.

    Name 5 of your favorite songs of all time?
    Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - TocarThunder Road
    Håkan Hellström - TocarNu kan du få mig så lätt
    Lars Winnerbäck - Nästan perfekt
    Simon & Garfunkel - TocarAmerica
    The Rolling Stones - TocarWild Horses

    Name 4 flawless albums:
    Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Live 1975-85 (Display Box)
    Håkan Hellström - Känn Ingen Sorg För Mig Göteborg
    Rufus Wainwright - Release The Stars
    Queen - A Kind of Magic

    How many music related videos/DVDs do you own?
    3 (1 Stones concert DVD, Elvis, The Boat That Rocked - I think the music is a huge part of that, ok? Can't think of any more right now.)

    How many concerts/shows have you been to in total?
    6 (counting Peace & Love as one) that I've decided to go to myself and not just followed my parents or my school to. Or sung at. (Counting all those as well it would be more than I can even guess).

    What was your last musical "phase" before you wisened up?
    The Buffy phase? :P Listened to - or bought without listening! - a lot of music simply because it had been on the show. I don't regret it though. It widened my musical horizons quite dramtically, introducing me to dozens of bands and singers from The Who and Cream to Sarah McLachlan and Alison Krauss.

    What's your "guilty pleasure" that you hate to admit to liking?
    Right now: Boyzone - Love You Anyway
    Generally everything that I find myself liking that's very nineties (like boybands! :P) or hiphop (like Eminem) or just plain mainstream. Though I guess Håkan is pretty mainstream by now. But I love him anyway (haha).

    Who is your favorite musician?
    Oh, don't make me! Bruce ... or Håkan ... or Bruce ... or Håkan ... aaargh!
  • 50 Questions about my Top 50: 2009 Version

    Nov 2 2009, 23h13 por melbo

    Because it's been almost two years since I filled this out...I thought it would be fun to see how this has changed.

    1. How did you get into 29? (Martina Sorbara)
    My friend Christina loved her first. She has excellent taste in music, so I looked her up.

    2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Clay Aiken)
    Haha...umm...I guess something he sang on American Idol? I don't remember whether I watched the auditions that season or picked up the show later.

    3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (Chris Isaak)
    No idea. I don't really pay attention to his lyrics...more his music and his voice.

    4. What is your favorite album by 49? (Spice Girls)
    Haha, I guess I prefer Spice World?

    5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Mariah Carey)
    Five.

    6. What is your favorite song by 50? (Billy Joel)
    First, how is Billy only #50?! That's disturbing. I love so many of his songs (so many!!), but if I have to pick just one, I always go with TocarThe Longest Time. I was so disappointed that he didn't sing it at Wrigley Field last summer.

    7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (Sarah McLachlan)
    Mm, yes. TocarWintersong. It's such a beautiful type of sad, though.

    8. What is your favorite song by 15? (Andrea Bocelli)
    Vivo Per Lei (con Giorgia), unless it's Olympic time. Then it's Because We Believe.

    9. What is your favorite song by 5? (Vienna Teng)
    TocarHarbor, TocarWhatever You Want, TocarAntebellum.

    10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (The Beatles)
    There are probably a hundred. I mean, really, does their discography ever end? All You Need Is Love would be the most obvious.

    11. What is your favorite album by 40? (Shania Twain)
    Come On Over. Seriously, weren't the majority of the songs on that album released to great success?

    12. What is your favorite song by 10? (Jack Johnson)
    TocarBetter Together!

    13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (Laura Pausini)
    I discovered her through a fantastic lady that I used to work for. She passed away a few years ago, but listening to Laura always makes me think of her.

    14. What is your favorite song by 38? (Michael Jackson)
    Don't Stop Til You Get Enough. I think.

    15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (Backstreet Boys)
    BSB makes me so nostalgic. Specifically, I guess I'll go with TocarAs Long As You Love Me

    16. How many times have you seen 25 live? (Madonna)
    None. I'm sure that would be a great show, though!

    17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (Destiny's Child)
    I don't know what the first song I heard would have been, but the first one that I liked was probably TocarBills, Bills, Bills.

    18. What is your favorite album by 11? (John Mayer)
    Continuum! Easily.

    19. What is your favorite song by 1? (Emm Gryner)
    So far, this is the only ranking that hasn't changed since the last time I did this survey, and the answer hasn't changed either. My favourite Emm song is still Blackwinged Bird

    20. Have you ever seen 14 live? (Rascal Flatts)
    No! I would love to, but I don't have any local friends who like them.

    21. What is a good memory involving 27? (Rachael Yamagata)
    Her songs make me think of many fabulous road trips with Jules.

    22. What is your favorite song by 16? (Sara Bareilles)
    TocarGravity. So. Incredible.

    23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (Astor Piazzolla)
    I have no idea. Since I'm a skating fan, TocarLibertango is a safe bet!

    24. What is your favorite album by 18? (Diana Krall)
    The Girl In The Other Room

    TocarHotel Song or TocarSamson

    26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? (Alicia Keys)

    27. What is your favorite album by 3? (Chantal Kreviazuk)

    28. What is you favorite song by 2? (Céline Dion)
    Céline is still #2. And TocarS'il Suffisait D'Aimer is still my favourite. Although there are SO MANY.

    29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? (Sarah Slean)

    30. What is you favorite song by 8? (Kelly Clarkson)
    I can't believe she's ranked so high, first of all. I don't feel like I listen to her that often. Maybe because it takes me so many listens to decide whether or not I like her songs, haha. I guess my favourite is TocarSince U Been Gone. Does that make me shallow?

    I haven't.

    37. How many times have you seen 42 live? (U2)
    I haven't ever, although I'm sure it's a great show. I'm not sure I would shell out the cash for it, though.

    38. What is your favorite song by 36? (Bryan Adams)
    Seriously? Obviously TocarSummer Of '69

    39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? (Jamie Cullum)
    I'm going to go with These Are The Days, because that's the first track on Twentysomething. I was with a friend when she bought it and we listened to it on the way home from Windsor.

    40. What is your favorite album by 7? (Michael Bublé)
    It's Time

    Out 28 2009, 15h34 por sameoldscenexx

    1. What's your favorite song by 15?
    (Janet Jackson) Definitely TocarGo Deep, it is in my opinion one of the best R&B tracks of all time.

    2. How did you get into 20?
    (Michael Jackson) My mother was really into his music, and obviously the excessive plays from my childhood have made a lasting impression.

    3. Who is your favorite member in 1?
    (Fleetwood Mac) Stevie Nicks. I know it's cliché, but anyone who can write songs that beautiful and have such a prominent stage presence and keep the audience entranced with just the slightest gaze deserves to be a favourite.

    4. What’s your favorite lyric bit by 29?
    (Midlake)
    'Bring me a day full of honest work,
    And a roof that never leaks
    I'll be satisfied.'

    In context of the song, these lyrics are magical.

    5. Have you ever seen 22 live?
    (Dave Matthews Band) That would be a no.

    6. What's your favorite album from 10?.
    (Madonna) This is like asking me to pick a favourite child! I'm going to say Erotica, for the sheer fact I used to play it all the time when I was younger.

    7. Do you own any merchandise from 3?
    (Stevie Nicks) Just CDs.

    8. What is a good memory you have of 7?
    (Bat for Lashes) Walking along the beach near where I live listening to Two Suns just after it was released. The album fit the landscape so perfectly.

    9. Is there a member of the same age as you in 2?
    (Tori Amos) She was thirty years ago!

    10. When did you first get into 8?
    (Peter Gabriel) When I was going through my Kate Bush phase last year, I discovered she'd sang on a few tracks with him. I downloaded them, loved his voice and then checked out 3. I was hooked, and here we are today.

    11. Who likes 4 along with you?
    (Kate Bush) Quite a few of my friends like her, actually. Between me forcing them to endure her and loads of artists proclaiming her to be their main influence, she's became much more popular again than she was even a year and a half ago.

    12. Which song did you first hear from 16?
    (Suede) Saturday Night, because I found out Keeley Hawes was in the video. Love her, love the song.

    13. What song made you fall in love with 5?
    (Lindsey Buckingham) Go Insane.

    14. Which song do you not like by 18?
    (Cocteau Twins) There's none that I know of that I dislike. Perhaps I don't know enough of their work?

    15. Why do you like 14's songs?
    (Bryan Ferry) His voice is perfection, and they remind me of my childhood.

    16. Where did you first hear 6?
    (Roxy Music) Probably on some Sunday when I was tiny. My mother loves them, and they were the soundtrack to ironing days. (On another note, creepy coincidence with the above question, huh?)

    17. How long was 19 a singer before you liked them?
    (David Bowie) Only thirty-five years or so, not that long, ha.

    18. Does 13 have a song that gives you a bad memory?
    (Vanessa Carlton) Her songs are too pretty to give me bad memories.

    19. When did you get into 17?
    (Heart) I don't know, last summer?

    20. How long have you been into 9?
    (The Cure) About three and a half years.

    21. If 11 had a concert 300 miles away, would you drive there to see them?
    (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) Due to the fact I worry that Tom Petty might die soon, I'd say a definite yes.

    22. How many CDs do you own of 12?
    (Buckingham Nicks) They've never released a CD, only a LP. Unless the album gets released on CD which I highly doubt, it'll probably always be none.

    23. Does 21 have a song that makes you cry?
    (Siouxsie and the Banshees) Yes! TocarThe Last Beat of My Heart never fails to get me emotional.

    24. Does 27 have a song that makes you happy?
    (Sarah McLachlan) TocarInto the Fire brings a smile to my face, most definitely.

    25. Does 23 have a song that makes you smile?
    (Paramore) TocarMisery Business for pure nostalgia.

    26. What's the last song you've listened to from 28?
    (Björk) TocarVenus As A Boy, and I do love that song.

    27. Is there a song by 32 that you've listened to more than 30 times?
    (Kings of Leon) As my iTunes has only been going since August on this laptop, it doesn't say but I remember I definitely played TocarKnocked Up over thirty times.

    28. What is a song from 50 that you've only listened to once?
    (New Order) There's a few.

    29. Is there a song you are sick of hearing by 24?
    (Don Henley) Not really, because he isn't played often unless I deliberately listen to "Oldie" radio stations.

    30. What song got you into 40?
    (Pink Floyd) I've no idea, I'm wanting to say Comfortably Numb but I can't be entirely sure.

    31. What is your favorite single by 25?
    (Tegan and Sara) I have no idea what's been released as singles and what hasn't.

    32. If 49 hated you, what would you do?
    (Destiny's Child) I'd be slightly upset, because that would mean Beyoncé hates me, and as I love her, I'd feel like a right cock.

    33. What would you say if 42 or one of the members from 42 asked you out?
    (Whitney Houston) Even though I'd be creeped out, particularly as I'm straight and she's about the same age as my mother, I'd definitely say yes. It's Whitney fucking Houston!

    34. Would you care if 41 had a boyfriend/girlfriend?
    (Eagles) Not really. They're all old enough to be my grandparents, although Don Henley was a handsome man.

    35. Who has the best voice in 46?
    (Prince) As it's just Prince, he is the voice of the music. And I love it.

    36. Do you think 26 is/are good looking?
    (Fiona Apple) She is beautiful, in a porcelain-doll way. My only qualm is that sometimes she looks too thin. That's not really my problem anyway though, is it?

    37. How many times have you listened to your favorite song by 36?
    (Journey) This is easy - TocarWheel In The Sky.

    38. How many CDs do you own of 30?
    (The Smiths) Just the one, which is Strangeways, Here We Come.

    39. Is there a song from 38 that makes you mad?
    (Lily Allen) Not really.

    40. Which member from 31 do you want to see go solo? If 31 is only one artist, what would you do if they joined a group?
    (Demi Lovato) I don't really want her to join a group, I like her voice on its own.

    41. What does your favorite song from 48 remind you of?
    (Patrick Wolf) TocarThe Childcatcher reminds me of my old Spanish lessons, discussing with my friend how creepy yet good this song was.

    42. Did you hate 43 at first?
    (Joni Mitchell) No, she's a legend! It took me a little while to "get" her, though.

    43. Does your best friend also listen to 33?
    (Beyoncé) Yes, who doesn't listen to her?

    44. Do you think your parents would like 37?
    (Amy Winehouse) They both like her, my mother especially.

    45. Does 47 have a song that makes you want to dance?
    (Blondie) Well, come on. Who hasn't danced to TocarHeart Of Glass at some point in their lives?

    46. Have you ever seen 34 in person?
    (The Beach Boys) Of course not.

    47. Do you like 44's name?
    (Hole) It has rude connotations and is pretty simple, but definitely sums up the group.

    48. Is there someone in 45 that you want to go out with?
    (Ladyhawke) I wouldn't go out with Pip, but I'd like her to give me her hair.

    49. Do you know anyone that hates 39?
    (Christine McVie) No, because not many people disassociate her from Fleetwood Mac. If they hate Fleetwood Mac (i.e., my stepdad) then they probably would.

    50. Have you ever danced to a song from 35?
    (PJ Harvey) Her songs aren't danceable, really. Unless you count grunge style mosh-pits. So, no.

    Woo hoo! 5 months and 11 days for the last 5,000 tracks to be scrobbled.

    At 30k, my Top 10 was as follows:
    1. Brandi Carlile
    2. Oasis
    3. Bruce Springsteen
    4. U2
    5. Sarah McLachlan
    6. Lenny Kravitz
    7. Jonatha Brooke
    8. Roxette
    9. R.E.M.
    10. David Gray

    Currently, my Top 10 is as follows:
    1. Brandi Carlile (-)
    2. Oasis (-)
    3. David Gray (+7)
    4. U2 (-)
    5. Bruce Springsteen (-2)
    6. Sarah McLachlan (-1)
    7. Lenny Kravitz (-1)
    8. Jonatha Brooke (-1)
    9. Roxette (-1)
    10. Serena Ryder (new)

    Dropping out: R.E.M..

    So Serena Ryder takes out R.E.M. and David Gray leaps seven places on the strength of his excellent new album, but the rest is more or less the same. There's plenty of movement lower in the charts but not in the top 10.
