this is pretty much it, but I've still left out a lot of bands

I'm just gonna be cool and just say that NIN is awesome. Cuz it is. =3

I think I'm just going to lurk and inspect everyone else's lists :B

my list would be very short compared to all these ones anyway

tiers r 4 queers

I'd post mine, if it wasn't pitifully shorter than what Jolty's would be. it's like, one guy against the rest of the world.

Everyone else's list sucks, mine is better

* this list is in alphabetical order, not in order of how much I like them in that category.
R.E.M. still slightly own Imogen Heap's arse.


:D
