The highest i've seen, probably about 180, was certainly fairly crap in places definitely. Seemed to be obscure for the sake of obscure.

Last.fm is awesome. About 3/4 of the music on my computer was found through it.

And I've seen a 200+ open mind thing somewhere, but it may have been hax0rz.

Well, that, and I don't like the way the "Similar Artists" thing is set up. Just because a lot of people that listen to, say, The Mars Volta, also listen to Radiohead doesn't necessarily mean the bands sound alike.
Yes, this my only real gripe with last.fm. It's utterly idiotic to scrobble by number than by duration. For me, Rachmaninoff and Ash Ra Tempel lose out whereas Minutemen, Michael Hoenig and the Residents get over-represented.

^You can go to Last.fm normalizer for charts based on time spent listening to each artist.

^That's awesome, thanks.

Edit: In that case, top artists overall.

1. At the Drive-In
2. Lagwagon
3. Underoath
4. The Mars Volta
5. Opeth
6. MxPx
7. The Clash
8. Millencolin
9. Billy Talent
10. Pennywise
11. Screeching Weasel
12. Alexisonfire
13. Descendents
14. Pink Floyd
15. Ramones

I think I prefer the old way, because most of the time spent listening to Pink Floyd was once through The Wall, and a couple times through Wish You Were Here. I like Wish You Were Here better, needless to say.

#81. Musical Knowledge.


Having a good musical knowledge is both a help and a hindrance but for this thread it just makes it into a positive. Unless you listen to music to keep up with the fashion, you cannot help but gain knowledge, facts and figures regarding music. This certainly comes in handy if you become a mod on a music forum but it is also gratifying when people ask for your advice or are always wanting mixtapes or recommendations.

That's the beauty of music. It is not just for aural pleasure. It can also turn you into an anorak of the highest order and for that, music seekers are grateful and your wife is bored shitless.

#80. Cassettes.


Yes indeed. The humble cassette. Up until the mid 90's this was the CD-R of it's day. This was the only way us 'oldies' could get hold of your mates latest LP without buying it. You could try and win a girls heart by doing a compilation for her AND you could write the tracklisting and a little message on the inlay card. You could record The John Peel Show with your finger hovering over the pause button to not get any chit chat in there but then spending the next five years desperately trying to find out who the hell is that cool track half way on side A (it was 'The Cranes' incidentally). I still have a lot of cassettes around with personal compilations on and they were the lifeblood of the music fan in the 80's. Sometimes a CD seems less personal somehow...

Heh. Pretty dead on for me. Sites like this are a nice buffer preventing me from boring the hell out of my wife with my musical rambling.
