The Shred Room II (with extra youth)

Being someone who's had last.fm for a really long time, my top artists are mostly based in longevity. Bands that I loved 2 years ago and still do are the ones at the top, followed by some that I haven't listened to as much recently but used to go all out with.

I've had it for over 3 years now, so mine is quite based on that as well.

Artists like Henry Cow and their opposites are the only exceptions, where I love them so much that they rose so quickly to my top even though I haven't owned them as long as say, Yes.

Marillion are still decently high in my charts, even though I hardly listen to them anymore outside Fish's material, because I used to love nearly all of their stuff for about a year before. As my tastes have developed though, Hogarth era has gradually waned on me. I might try it again one of these days.

No faulty logic in that comment at all! ) Can't believe I have Supertramp and Boston in my library... Ah, that's definitely why then. Opeth are really good, but I'm not sure if you would like them. If you want to hear their best non-metal song, try looking up "Harvest" on Youtube. That's a really good song. If you find that intriguing and want to take the next step after that, go with "Hex Omega". Boston's debut is great, and I love Supertramp.

Who, Opeth? No, those are both original songs.

I haven't listened to much Rush, Pink Floyd, or The Beatles this past year and they're still in my top 20. However, there are some in my top 20 for the year that aren't even in my top 50 all-time such as Boards of Canada, Man Man, The Kinks, and most importantly, Chamillionaire.

That happens to me too. Tastes tend to go in interesting cycles though, so I suppose technically the longer you have them the more accurate they are, even if you're really into an artist currently that's not on the top list.

Opeth's lead singer is the actor who does the voice for cookie monster on Sesame Street.

Beret metal. As in, metal for people who wear berets.

Mmm... youtube offers the chipmink version of Ghost of Perdition...

I definitely won't. The original version is good enough for me.
