Name your top 10 most played bands on Last.fm:
1. Jimmy Eat World
2. Brand New
3. Glassjaw
4. Taking Back Sunday
5. Anathallo
6. Thrice
7. Brandtson
8. Thursday
9. Circa Survive
10. Dashboard Confessional
Now answer the questions according to the numbers:
what was the first song you ever heard by 6?
This is impossible to know. I started listening to Thrice when I was 14 by finding them on mp3.com before Identity Crisis came out. So it had to be one of their very early tracks like Ultra Blue. I remember really liking that one at the time so maybe that. I only had a couple songs of theirs then.
what is your favourite album of 2?
Definitely The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me.
what is your favorite lyric that 5 has sung?
Probably "Someday they will build monuments for us" from Hoodwink. I love they way it's sung compared to the rest of the song and I love the history behind it.
how many times have you seen 4 live?
Twice. Once in 2003 at the 930 Club in D.C. when I didn't even like them. That was the time to see them too! I saw them much later in 2007 at the OU arena. I loved seeing them, but the show was much worse. Too big, too many people.
what is your favorite song by 7?
Drawing a Line in the Sand. I used to listen to it a lot a few years ago. I honestly don't listen to Brandtson much anymore but I listened to them so much when I was 20 that it'll take a long time to knock them off my top 10 plays list. I think there was a period of a couple months where I literally listened to nothing but Brandtson. I really identified with the music then.
what is a good memory you have considering the music of 10?
Too many! It's wonderful how a guy who sings such sad songs can leave me with so many good memories. I think it's because of a certain connectedness his fans have. My latest good Dashboard memory is from earlier this year when I saw him solo in Dallas playing Swiss Army Romance in its entirety with my girlfriend and somegaveall. Great times.
is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
Glassjaw sings about sad things. I think their saddest might be Motel of the White Locust.
what is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung?
Lacey is such a clever lyricist that it's hard to pick. I really like his cockiness frustration when he sings "I am heaven sent/Don't you dare forget/I am all you've ever wanted/What all the other boys all promised/Sorry I told/I just needed you to know" in Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't.
what is your favorite song by 9?
In Fear and Faith
how did you get in to 3?
I have no idea how I first heard of them, but it was probably somewhere around 2000. I thought they were a little "weird" at the time and didn't listen too much. Then in maybe 2002 I was invited to one of their shows and went to buy tickets but they were out or something and ended up missing the show. It wasn't until later, maybe 2005, that I really started to appreciate them because of a friend of mine was really into them. Seeing them in 2006 was one of the best nights of my life!
what was the first song you heard by 1?
The Middle (this hasn't changed from my last survey 5 years ago haha)
what is your favorite song by 4?
Cute Without the E (Cut from the Team)
how many time have you seen 9 live?
I think twice. This was a band I had to see live to really appreciate. Anthony Green has an amazing stage presence.
what is a good memory you have concerning 2?
Seeing them FINALLY in Tulsa in 2009 with a good friend of mine.
is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
Again, this is a band that sings about sad stuff. I think Standing on the Edge of Summer is sad because he's singing about the last time he saw his grandmother before she died. Easy to relate to that and get a little teary.
what is your favorite album of 5?
Hoodwink
what is your favorite lyric that 3 has sung?
Yikes! I'm afraid to say because their best lyrics are so disgusting and hateful. I love the end of Motel of the White Locust though because of the repeated line at the end: "Pack your shit and leave/And take my memories of her with you"
what is your favorite song of 1?
Five years ago I said Disintegration. It was new then. While it's still an amazing track, I have to say that today my all-time favorite would have to be 23. To think that I used to listen to it and imagine what it would be like when I was 23 and now I'm 26!
what is your favourite song of 10?
The Best Deceptions
how many times have you seen 8 live?
At least once. I can't remember. I saw them once in maybe 2006 in Ft Worth also with somegaveall. That was a fun weekend. We stayed in a really terrible motel down the street from the club to catch a show there again the next night.
what is your favourite album of 1?
Five years ago I said Clarity. Today, I'm not sure. Clarity is still fantastic of course but since then I've really learned to appreciate Futures.
what is a great memory you have considering 9?
Probably the first time I saw them live and realized how wonderful they were. It was a mesmerizing experience, honestly.
what was the first song you heard by 8?
Man, this is hard to know. It was probably 10 years ago. Something off Full Collapse, I'm sure.
