1. How did you get into #29? [Manic Bloom]
I was watching a video on YouTube that had the song What Scares You Most in it, so I looked them up and was absolutely blown away with the rest of their EP. I eagerly await the day when/if they release a full-length studio album.

2. What's the first song you ever heard by #22? [Hiroshi Yamaguchi]
I guess Issun's Theme, because it constantly occurs in the game Okami.

3. What's your favorite lyric by #33? [Masami Ueda]
His music has no lyrics ;)

4. How did you get into #49? [Kasabian]
In an iTunes Essentials playlist somewhere, the reviewer described Club Foot as "the perfect song to rob a bank to." Deciding that sounded interesting, I found the reviewer was absolutely right, so I went and discovered the rest of Kasabian's work from there.

5. How many albums by #13 do you own? [David Bergeaud]
Since he composes the music for the Ratchet and Clank video games series, I don't really own any CDs, but I do own five of the R&C games. :)

6. What is your favorite song by #50? [Red]
Already Over.

7. Is there a song by #39 that makes you sad? [Superchic[k]]
Stand In The Rain.

8. What is your favorite song by #5? [Muse]
Hard to pick, but probably Knights of Cydonia.

9. What is your favorite song by #5? [Anberlin]
Again, very hard to pick... either Alexithymia, or Feel Good Drag.

10. Is there a song by #6 that makes you happy? [The Classic Crime]
There are SO many; I love this group. 5805, however, is a special one because it reminds me of my best friends from my childhood.

11. What is the worst song by #40? [Ohio University Marching 110]
Considering I'm in the group, I can safely say that it depends on the arrangement of the piece, and how hard we're practicing. I'm not fond of quite a few songs the 110 has played over the years.

12. What is your favorite song by #10? [Frou Frou]
Psychobabble, without a doubt.

13. What is a good memory you have involving #30? [VersaEmerge]
Considering I just discovered VE literally this week, I have already had some really awesome times leaving Perceptions on repeat and singing along (In Pursuing Design and Clocks are great rock-out songs).

It's funny, though, how I found out about VE... there's a fictional character I draw quite often whose name is Versa, and I once made a Flair button with her picture on it on Facebook. When I was looking for the Flair again, I stumbled upon a huge bunch of VersaEmerge flair, naturally, because of keywords in the search. I was curious... and found one of my favorite bands of all-time!

14. What is your favorite song by #38? [The Graduate]
Doppleganger.

15. Is there a song by #19 that makes you happy? [Breaking Benjamin]
They're most depressing/angry songs, but sometimes that makes me happy (I'm a bit of a schadenfreude. Therefore, Breath.

16. Is there a song by #25 that makes you sad? [Saosin]
Eh, not really. They're hard rock, but generally upbeat.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by #23? [Jamiroquai]
It was definitely Canned Heat (Masters at Work remix). A friend sent it to me, and I was instantly hooked. They're so fun and unique.

18. What's your favorite lyric by #11? [Chevelle]
I think the opening of Emotional Drought is striking, and very applicable to parts of my life:

It's possible that the worst
Of the inside
Could take our pencils away
End creating
Can't let the teachers lay waste
Of a new mind
Prevent emotional drought
And watch the pace quicken
Try to never touch
Try to never touch

19. Who is a favorite member of #1? [Mae]
Dave Elkins, the lead singer. Not only is he a great musician, but a kindhearted soul (what other band starts a co-op with Habitat For Humanity and then records a full-length album about it, with the proceeds from online downloads going to the cause?), and quite funny in band interviews.

20. Is there a song by #14 that makes you happy? [中鶴純一]
Hour Of Destiny is epic... I could listen to it a million times.

21. What is a good memory involving #27? [Rei Kondoh]
Any time playing Okami is a good time! The soundtrack is stunning.

22. What is your favorite song by #16? [Gustav Holst]
Hmm... I'll say 1st Suite in E-Flat: I - Chaconne. Poor guy never gets recognized for anything but the Planets Suite. I'm really a fan of his military band works even more than those.

23. What is the first song you ever heard by #47? [Samuel R. Hazo]
Olympiada, which unfortunately is not in his track listing here. It was a part of my high school marching band's field show.

24. What is your favorite album by #18? [Pendulum]
In Silico.

25. What is your favorite song by #21? [Three Days Grace
Just Like You.

26. What is the first song you ever heard by #26? [Blue October]
Into The Ocean.

27. What is your favorite album by #3? [Fireflight]
Unbreakable! Home of my most-played song.

28. What is your favorite song by #2? [Imogen Heap]
This is almost impossible to choose... it's a toss-up between Closing In and Headlock.

29. What was the first song you ever heard by #32? [iiO]
Rapture, from some animation on AlbinoBlackSheep.com.

30. What is your favorite song by #8? [House of Heroes]
Depending on the day, either In the Valley of the Dying Son or By Your Side.

31. How many times have you seen #17 live? [Paramore]
Unfortunately never. I think I'd need to wear crazier clothing, pierce my nose, dye my hair, and learn to love mosh pits in order to fully enjoy a concert, though.

32. Is there a song by #44 that makes you happy? [Skillet]
Really, no.

33. How did you get into #12? [Shiny Toy Guns]
My friend was driving me home from a graduation ceremony practice when she started blasting Le Disko from her car radio. I asked her who performed it. Fom about that moment, I've loved STG (both versions: Carah and Sisely).

34. What is the worst song by #45? [Angels & Airwaves]
I don't listen to them much anymore because most of their songs from We Don't Need to Whisper all sound the same. I'd have to say, then, Do It For Me Now.

35. What was the first song you ever heard by #34? [Hans Zimmer]
I'm not sure... whatever the first thing I heard from Pirates of the Caribbean was.

36. What was the first song you ever heard by #48? [Kate Ryan]
A friend of mine made me listen to Je t'adore.

37. How many times have you seen #42 live? [Lostprophets]
Never.

38. What is your favorite song by #36? [Celldweller]
The Last Firstborn.

39. What was the first song you ever heard by #28? [Carolina Liar]
I checked out I'm Not Over after a friend plugged it in his Facebook status. I found a great band.

40. What is your favorite album by #7? [Switchfoot]
Oh! Gravity.

41. Is there a song by #31 that makes you happy? [Mute Math]
Typical in particular, but really all of them.

42. What is your favorite album by #41? [Original Broadway Cast]
I absolutely adore the songs from The Pajama Game.

43. What is your favorite song by #24? [Moloko]
Familiar Feeling.

44. What is a good memory you have involving #46? [32 Leaves]
Their music makes really great background music for drawing, so I'll give them that.

45. What is your favorite song by #35? [Bad Religion]
God, there are so many... I'll go with Stranger Than Fiction.

46. Is there a song by #9 that makes you happy? [Circa Survive]
Kicking Your Crosses Down, even though it's rather depressing.

47. What is your favorite album by #4? [Utada]
Exodus.

48. Who is your favorite member of #37? [The Killers]
Brandon Flowers, I guess.

49. What is the first song you ever heard by #43? [Kate Havnevik]
Unlike Me.

50. What is your favorite song by #20? [The Hush Sound]
Ugh, these guys are so wonderful, it's hard to choose. For now I'll say Wine Red.
