   My top 100 artists... this was exceedingly difficult to make.

< ="-" ="text/; =utf-8">< name="GENERATOR" ="Office.org 3.2  Win32">< ="text/">

This is my list of favorite bands.
There are 4 categories. 

1-10 = A
11-40 = B
41-70 = C
71-100 = D

This means that number 22 is more or
less equal to number 39, and that number 73 is more or less equal to
97, and 52 is more or less equal to 65, and 1 is more or less equal
to 8. 

But, 1 is somewhat better than 17,
while 22 is somewhat better than 51, 1 is much better than 88.

Oh, boy, this thing will probably change, rapidly, too. I'm always discovering new artists. Agalloch is the most recent addition. The rating system was inspired by George Starostin's system, somewhat.

Some bands that might be making the list, hereby kicking someone else out:

-Kate Bush
-Orphaned Land
-Renaissance
-The Gathering
-Deadsoul Tribe
-Simon & Garfunkle
-Billie Holiday
-The Ink Spots
-Modest Mouse
-Anathema
-Kamelot
-Mahavishnu Orchestra
-lots of italian prog bands

I spent hours and hours ruminating over this list, and even I don't think it's 100% accurate of my tastes. I'd like to see what you folks think. I definitely don't recommend trying this.

Up next I plan on listing my favorite 500 albums...I dread it...
