What is the first song you ever heard by number 6?
‘Common People’

What is your favorite song by number 8?
Either ‘Broom People’, ‘This Year’, or ‘Heretic Pride’.

What kind of impact has number 1 had on your life?
Where do I start? There is no other band, with the exception of maybe Jeff Buckley, that can move me the way The Allman Brothers can. When I listen to ‘Jessica’ I practically go into a trance. Wow I’m weird. But yeah, they were one of the first bands I listened to to start moving away from pop, and into my rock phase, and I still love them as much as ever.

What is your favorite lyric(s) of number 5?
I am really not sure, I don’t so much listen to them for the lyrics, though when I listen they seem to be nice. Nothing stands out.

What song(s) by 3 makes you happy?
‘Julie is working for the drug squad

When did you first get into 2?
Quite a while back, at least before France, which was late 2008. I lapsed, but in the middle of this year I got back into them.

How did you get into 3?
Jake downloaded an album by them…a Best Of album I think, and it’s just great.

What is your favorite song by 4?
‘Fools Gold’, obviously. How anyone could not love this song is beyond me.

How many times have you seen 9 live?
None, disappointingly. That’s something to do before I die.

Favorite album by 7?
Well there is only two to choose from, but I prefer his more recent one, The Wild Hunt. It maintains his sharp, almost grating vocals with a more smoothed out and mature guitar sound.

What is your favorite song of 1?
I can’t go passed ‘Jessica’, but lately ‘Blue Sky’.

How did you become a fan of number 10?
This guy called Grips I knew when I used to play TMN used to worship them, so I got a few songs (Limewire, lulululu) and they blew my mind.

What song of 4’s do you listen to the least?
Apparently it is ‘Ten Storey Love Song’ which sounds a bout right, I’m not such a fan.

How long have you known 9?
How long have I known the Rolling Stones? Well my uncle gave me an album by them when I was like…8…but I didn’t like them back then.

‘Sea within a sea’, ‘Death at a chapel’, ‘Mirror’s Image’, the rest.
