I have extremely varied taste in music! :D Some of these top twenty bands belongs to genres I usually don't listen to. Take Manic Street Preachers for example. I barely listen to any britpop besides them. Of course it's still a huge tag in my tag cloud but that depends on the sheer number of Manics songs played.
Actually duplicates are almost exclusively found among the goth bands in this list. Those bands do resemble each other.
