Now answer the questions according to the numbers:

What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle… Same as everyone else.

What is your favourite album of 2?
Club Anthems, probably

What is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung?
I had a very hard time with this, but:
"And if I show you my dark side, will you still hold me tonight?" from The Final Cut

How many times have you seen 4 live?
Heh heh. THREE TIMES! WOOO

What is your favorite song by 7?
Holy fucking shit, seriously? This isn't quite accurate, but I am going to have to go with, for right now at least, The March of the Black Queen from Queen II…. Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy and The Millionaire Waltz and Dreamer's Ball are all VERY close behind though!

What is a good memory you have involving the music of 10?
This reminds me a lot of the movie Sideways. It's not what happens while you're listening to Cake that is the special occassion, but listening to Cake is the special occasion itself! Specifically, I refer to when I first discovered Fashion Nugget… Or when I first discovered Comfort Eagle. Each time I listen to them, I am brought back to when I first discovered them and the amazing feeling I had.

Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
Not particularly, though they are all very touching. Many make me feel reminiscent, but not quite sad exactly. And many often tend to put me in a mood that is difficult to explain through words. That said, if I had to pick one, it would probably be True Love Waits.

What is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung?
Haha! What a tough one. While I love the title of Leave the Earth Behind and Take a Walk into the Sunshine, I don't know that there is one specific line or phrase that stands out from the entire song, as it is all so beautiful and perfect. I guess I will have to go with my favorite funny song, Disney's Ice Parade: "You left your notes on lesbian sex on the fishtank in the hall"

What is your favorite song by 9?
This one is tough because, even though he is at number 9, I'm not all THAT fond of him. He just has a lot of songs and I've attempted to get through all of them, but I'm not that close at all. Also, I feel he doesn't really write that many songs as much as exercises in certain keys with the same licks over and over… Which is, admittedly, pretty harsh. He is an amazing guitarist and I am not worthy. Anyway, even though I can't really listen through the whole song, let's go with Moths to Flame just because it has quite possibly the greatest heavy metal intro to any song ever.

How did you get into 3?
I'm not even sure! Jake has always liked them, and I think my first real experience listening to them was being creeped out with Hail to the Thief on repeat all night long, or Luke's performance of Fake Plastic Trees. Somewhere along the line, I downloaded Creep and their other singles and fell in love.

What was the first song you heard by 1?
Oh, God. Like it's not obvious. Bound for the Floor.

What is your favorite song by 4?
Pff!!! At first this seemed difficult, but then I remembered Micro Cuts. No other song can hold a candle to it ever.

How many times have you seen 9 live?
Only once

What is a good memory you have involving 2?
Probably my best memory is walking around or sitting around listening to the Ballboy podcasts and listen to Gordon's stories and anecdotes and just feeling like I know him.

Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
Haha. He doesn't have many sad songs. The only one that really strikes me as sad is Wrong Man… And I guess some Mr. Big songs make me sad that he quit Racer X for them. Haha.

What is your favorite album of 5?
No doubt The Final Cut, though The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon and Animals are all pretty amazing. Wish You Were Here has its moments too (that is, the first and last song (the same song))

What is your favorite lyric that 3 has sung?
Fuuuuuck. Again, this is like the ballboy song mentioned above, where I am in love with the whole song. But this song, particularly, the lyrics! I must go for Motion Picture Soundtrack… If I had to pick a particularly verse, I guess I'll do the second one: "Stop sending letters/letters always get burned/It's not like the movies/They fed us on little white lies"

What is your favorite song of 1?
Halcyon Days (Where Were You Then?)

What is your favorite song of 10?
This whole survey is so fucking hard. Sorry, but it is a 5 way tie between Shadow Stabbing, Comfort Eagle, Stickshifts and Safetybelts, Nugget, and Italian Leather Sofa

How many times have you seen 8 live?
Only once, but let's hope he goes on G3 again

What is your favorite album of 1?
Origin of Symmetry

What is a great memory you have considering 9?
Eh… I guess seeing him live, more than anything. Not really many other memories involving him.

What was the first song you heard by 8?
I Like Rock, because I heard it sounded like Andrew W.K.

What is your favorite cover by 2?
They only do like three covers that I know of! And I am sure as hell not choosing the Springsteen song… So I guess Tell Me.
