1.How did you get into 31?
Ice Cube
Was already into N.W.A., and then I borrowed Death Certificate and The Predator from a friend. Enjoyed. Alot! Then collected all the other studio albums.

Hole
I do believe it was Celebrity Skin.

3.What's your favourite lyrics by 29?
R.E.M.

This one goes out to the one I've left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love" The One I Love

4.What's your favourite album by 49?
John Frusciante
Hmmm tough one, it's either 'Niandra Lades And Usually Just A T-Shirt' or 'Smile From The Streets You Hold'. Both are scary but excellent.

5.How many albums by 13 do you own?
Jane's Addiction
All 3 Studio albums, 2 Official Live Albums, A rarities collection, A 4 Disc Box Set, and several bootlegs, oh and some singles/EPs...... (Best band ever!)

6.What is your favourite song by 50?
The Breeders
Another tough question, gonna go with Cannonball, but to be honest, the entire 'Last Splash' album could qualify. Kim Deal <3

7.Is there a song by 4 that makes you sad?
Beastie Boys
Haha, not really a sad band/group... Maybe Alive, that's got a sad back story I believe...

8.What is your favourite song by 15?
Minutemen
Again, it's a very tough choice, possibly Viet Nam

9.What is your favourite song by 5?
Nine Inch Nails
To be honest, there is far too many candidates, the one that comes to mind though would be Something I Can Never Have, simply beautiful.

10.Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Almost every song on Freaky Styley to Blood Sugar Sex Magik... Subway To Venus makes me exceptionally happy though.

11.What is your favourite album by 40?
Nirvana
Studio album = Nevermind, but Unplugged In New York is also a very special album in my opinion.

12.What's your favourite song by 10?
Jay-Z
Damn I hate this favourite song question, it's always too hard to choose! I'm gonna go ahead and say either Bring It On or Friend or Foe, both classic examples of Mafioso Hip Hop.

13.What's a good memory you have involving 33?
Joy Division
Either discovering them and falling in love with the lyrics and music, or watching the movie 'Control' which is a biopic of lead singer Ian Curtis, R.I.P.

14.What's your favourite song by 37?
Slayer
Definately Angel of Death, fucking brutal song.

15.Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy?
Portishead
Hmmm, all 3 of their albums are stunning, the song that makes me the happiest would have to be Sour Times though.

16.How many times have you seen 24 live?
Tool
None, which makes me very sad, unfortunatly they only tour every 4-5 years, so looks like I might have to wait, god damn it.

17.What's the first song you ever heard by 23?
The Prodigy
Errrrrrr, I imagine it would have to be eitherFirestarter or Breathe, as they were the biggest hits by the band when I was young.

18.What's your favourite album by 11?
Massive Attack
Aghhh don't make me choose between Blue Lines or Mezzanine, it's just not fair!

19.Who is your favourite member of 1?

I love em' all, but Kim Gordan is just unreal, idol <3

20.Have you ever seen 14 live?
Radiohead
Yes, saw them live on the In Rainbows tour, fucking epic.

Driving around listening to The Chronic. Blazing to the remarkable production and hilarious skits. So many good times!

22.What is your favourite song by 16?
Pixies
Haha easilyGigantic, so hilarious, and wonderful.

23.What is the first song you heard by 47?
Metallica
Ermmmm, probably Enter Sandman when I was little.

Deconstruction
Their self-titled. Such a hidden gem, alternative classic for sure!

Primus
Hahaha they're all so wack. My Name Is Mud orJerry Was a Race Car Driver are both seriously insane.

26.What is the first song you heard by 38?

The Beatles
"All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?" Eleanor Rigby

The Smashing Pumpkins
Gosh, they have so many beautiful songs, I'm thinking Silverfuck, it is about as perfect as a song can be.

29.What's the first song you heard by 32?
De La Soul
I remember seeing the video to Me, Myself & I on MTV, they really do put the Hippie in Hip-Hop. Legends.

30.How many times have you seen 17 live?
Yo La Tengo
Never... I really hope they tour the UK soon, I imagine they are even more haunting live.

31.Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy?
Deftones
Errrr more of an angry or depressing than happy band. Pink Cellphone makes me feel kinda trippy/happy at times.

32.What is your favourite album by 12?
Pink Floyd
If I said anything other than Dark Side of the Moon I'd probably be shot, but I also love A Piper At The Gates of Dawn, Echoes, Wish You Were Here and The Wall.

Dizzee Rascal
Any of his new electro-pop shit on Tongue N'Cheek, bring back the grime rascal!!

The Cure
I think it was Close To Me, I saw the video on MTV, and what a classic video/song it is indeed.

35.What's your favourite album by 42?
LL Cool J
'Mama Said Knock You Out' easily. One of the best comebacks in Hip Hop ever.

36.How many times have you seen 39 live?

Kyuss
Whatever the opening track of 'Blues for the Red Sun' is. Epic album. (further research indicates that it was Thumb

39.What is your favourite album by 7?
Pearl Jam
They've had a lot of great albums, but how could it be anything but 'Ten', one of the cornerstones of grunge rock.
