how to play:
part 1: list 10 of your favourite bands. not necessarily your top 10, but 10 that give a broad range of your taste, so that no area is really left un-represented. don't get ultra obscure as well, it will give you a lower score than you might otherwise have.
part 2: score other people's lists according to this criteria:
2 points: i freakin' love this band
1 point: this band is moderately good, a mon avis.
0 points: i am unfamiliar with this band/ i have no particular feelings one way or another regarding this band
-1 point: i have a moderate dislike for this band.
-2 points: this band makes me wish i had been born without ears. through some cross sensory phenomenon it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. my eyes bleed, as the pressure of bad is too strong in my ears. etc.
then, tally the score up and post the results in the thread. a perfect score is 20, 0 is 50% and -20 is someone you share no taste with. try not to do people one by one, wait a little while for some lists to be posted before ranking them. this is just a bookkeeping issue. i imagine it'd grow tedious trawling through thread. i'm such a friendly threadmaker. (mods, take note)
ok go. hopefully by the end of this you will be able to see some fancy statistics, maybe some new bands and generally enjoy your time on the internet, in a delectably delicious deluge, delving into delicately deluded dellboys/girls.
my list:
manitoba/caribou
the magnetic fields
my bloody valentine
mogwai
m83
the flaming lips
enon
hot snakes
prefuse 73
nick drake
(if you want me to like your band, i suggest having it start with m. unless your name happens to be james hetfield)
