How many times have you listened to number one?
102

Is this your favourite band?
I tend not to have 'a favorite band', but if I did, Fightstar would be it :)

What got you into number one?
I think Last.fm first sparked an interest in them, and I downloaded a few of their songs, and then the more I listened to them, the more I loved them.

Why have you listened to them so much?
Because they are the one band that has the power to create an incredible high for me. No other music I have ever listened to has managed to do that.

Favourite song(s)?
I hate saying this, because it isn't really choosing, but all of them. Each and every one of their songs is awesome in its own right. My favourites would probably be Chemical Blood, Whisperer, and Waste A Moment.

Something you think you’d thoroughly enjoy doing with the band?
Er, meeting them! I would love the opportunity to tell them how important their music is to me and how it has helped me.

Favourite memory of the artist?
Buying their Be Human album and listening to it constantly. I still do.

How many times listened to number two?
52

What got you into them?
I noticed that they supported Oasis for their Heaton Park gigs, which I didn't manage to get tickets to. I downloaded a few of their songs and realised that I was already familiar with their music and remembered them being in the music charts constantly. I then bought all three of their albums and fell in love.

What makes you like them so much?
Their style is extremely distinctive and their lyrics are beautiful.

Favourite song(s)?
Empire or Secret Alphabets.

Favourite memory of artist?
Again, when I bought their CDs. I bought all three at once, it was a great day :)

How many times have you listened to number three?
45

Would you pay thirty dollars to see them in concert?
FUCK YES. There is no question about it. Besides, that is extremely cheap for a Foo gig.

Favourite song(s)?
The Pretender.

How many times have you listened to four?
37

Would you go fishing with them?
Fishing isn't really my thing, and I can't imagine them fishing either?

Any particular emotions run through you when you listen?
Passion, and happiness. Brian Molko's voice is insane.

Favourite song(s)?
Infra-Red or English Summer Rain.

How many times have you listened to five?
34

What’s so intriguing about them?
Again, their style is incredibly cool. I got into them when I discovered that they were lead by Tom DeLonge of blink-182, and now I love them more than I love blink!

Could you imagine them in a circus?
Not really, no...

Favourite song(s):
Call to Arms, The War, or The Adventure.

How many times for six ?
32

How many 3’s in a <3333333 would you give them and why?
One, because one is all they need.

Favourite song(s)?
My all-time favourite song, by any artist is Your Guardian Angel, although it isn't their usual style, so one of their louder songs would be Damn Regret.

How many times for 7?
31

I hear 7 is a magical number, is this band magical?
John Mayer is beyond magical.

Favourite song(s)?
Gravity, Daughters, Clarity, and Who Says.

How many times for eight ?
26

How long have you liked this artist?
Pretty much my whole life, but the reason their play count is so low is because I haven't had Last.fm very long at all.

Favourite song(s)?
Falling Down and I'm Outta Time.

Poor nine and ten, how many times you listened to them?
Not poor at all! Muse have 26 also, and Hoobastank have 24.

Why have them as number nine and ten, where is the love?
Like I said, I haven't had Last.fm for very long, so the artists lower down have very few scrobbles as I haven't played them that much recently. The love is definitely there, I swear.

How long have you liked them?
Liked Muse for about a year, and Hoobastank only a few months.

What are the poor artists from 11-20?
They are not poor at all. For them to even be on my top 20 means I love them very much.
