Haven't done one of these for aaggggeees. I believe they were invented for 4am amid ill-timed caffeine imbibing?

1. How did you get into 29?
Animal Collective - 'Fireworks' was given away on some free comp CD, I believe. Then they cemented that with a sensory overload at ATP May 2008. I swear it wasn't because P4K threatened me at gunpoint.....SWEAR!

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
The Suicide File - It was live and I didn't know them then, so I forget. Bought the CD there, though, so it'd be the first (and title) track on 'Twilight'.

3. How many albums by 13 do you own?
The Raconteurs - 2, debut physically and sophomore digitally (legal, honest RIAA).

4. What is your favorite song by 15?
36 Crazyfists - 'Kenai' always does it for me.

5. What is your favorite song by 5?
TV on the Radio - More about the albums as a whole with these guys for me, but 'Blues From Down Here' certainly is a jam.

6. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
Mastodon - Oh my yes, there are many but just past the 4 minute mark of 'The Czar' they break from slow and meditative into the most heroic riffing. Always perks me up.

7. What is your favorite song by 10?
Aereogramme (R.I.P.) - 'Barriers' ("Let me tell the truth/Let me come alive/Let me build bridges into your life")

8. What is a good memory you have involving 30?
Coheed & Cambria - Seeing Claudio play guitar with his teeth at the Agora in Cleveland sticks with me, for some reason.

9. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy?
Killswitch Engage - Their cover of 'Holy Diver' is particularly overblown and never fails to cause a grin.

10. How many times have you seen 25 live?
Isis - Just the once in Sheffield and it was utterly mind-blowing.

11. What is the first song you ever heard by 23?
The Shins - 'Phantom Lib'. Took me many listens for the subtle loveliness to sink in, for some reason. Fool.

12. What is your favorite album by 11?
The Bronx - No. 2, inventively entitled The Bronx II, is probably the best.

13. Who is a favorite member of 1?
Tool - Can't really see past the enigma of Maynard James Keenan, despite the talent of the others.

14. Have you ever seen 14 live?
Frank Turner - Yes, many times. Had I not, my life would be all the poorer for missing him. GO SEE FRANK TURNER!

15. What is a good memory involving 27?
Counting Crows - They go waaay back in all kinds of memories. Plead the 5th or some such....

16. What is your favorite song by 16?
....And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead - 'Mistakes & Regrets'

17. What is your favorite album by 18?
Soundgarden - 'Superunknown' is a classic. One of my faves full stop.

18. What is your favorite song by 21?
Enter Shikari - 'Solidarity' is frantic, energising, and quite wonderful. Try it on a Monday morning for extra zzzzzzzzzing.

19. What is the first song you ever heard by 26?
At the Drive-In - 'Cosmonaut' ......wow, SO influential. www.heavier-than-air.blogspot.com

20. What is your favorite album by 2?
Clutch - Choices, choices.....?! 'Elephant Riders' got me into them and I love it, but 'Blast Tyrant' is probably my preferred overall.

21. What is you favorite song by 3?
The Hold Steady - 'Massive Nights' suitably describes most evenings I've watched them.....woo-ohhhhh-ooo-OHHHH.

22. What is you favorite song by 8?
Okkervil River - 'Savannah Smiles' is beautiful.

23. How many times have you seen 17 live?
Deftones - 3, I believe.

24. What is the worst song by 12?
The Bronx - There are a few weak moments on III....non titles come to mind, though. Just buy I and II to be safe.

25. What was the first song you ever heard by 28?
Biffy Clyro - Probably 'Justboy' or '57' courtesy of http://www.last.fm/user/-jc- all those years ago at Uni.

26. What is you favorite album by 7?
Katatonia - I just thought about this as I re-listened this week. Having not heard the full new one, I'd plump for 'Last Fair Deal Gone Down'.

27. What is your favorite song by 24?
Nickel Creek - 'Somebody More Like You'

28. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy?
Against Me! - Has to be 'Pints of Guiness Make You Strong'. That one's always gonna get you drinking Irish tonight.

29. What is your favorite album by 4?
The National - 'Boxer'

30. How many albums do you own by 20?
Murder by Death - 2 physical, 1 digital. Don't know why it matters but there you go.

So, here's a list of all the bands I've seen live. Fun to watch for me, probably boring and uninteresting for you. Anyway, here it is, raw and powerful, or something.
