Schutzengel. All time fav. ♥

Love the older stuff as well, but still I've gotta say New Born Enemies.

3. What is your favourite lyric number 5 has sung?
Ich lass nicht zu dass sie dich finden
Auch wenn uns beide das fortan zu ewig langer Flucht verbannt
Sie haben unrecht, sind so blind,
folgen nur den Worten ihrer Herrn der heiligen Macht in diesem Land
Laufe, renne immer weiter
Nimm das Unrecht nicht in Kauf
Ich bleibe hier werd für dich kämpfen
Flieh durch finstre Gänge, dunkle Gassen, flieh durch Wälder und sei frei!
Ich komme nach, ich werd dich finden und dann bei dir sein!
Die Flucht

4. How many times have you seen 6 live?
So far only once. Would gladly repeat that though.

Basically, this is inspired by the Nordic Artist Chart by user Radiopilote. I wanted this for german artists, found nothing similar and did it on my own.

I browsed tags, similar artists and national charts to get this list of the top 100 artists on Last.fm, sorted by the number of overall listeners (date: 29 December 2010).
If you find any mistakes, miss some artists or want to comment anything...., comment! :)

Wenn man sich erst einmal in seinem Liebeskummer suhlen will (so wie ich momentan):
- Rosenstolz: Woran hält sich die Liebe
- Rosenstolz: Die Liebe ist tot
- Rosenstolz: Prinzessin Auf Dem Abstellgleis

In meinem speziellen Fall auch: Rosenstolz: Ein anderes Gefühl von Schmerz

Von Mary Roos gibt's auch Großartiges: Stark Sein.
Zeitverschwendung ist dagegen, den Text von Marys Song Ich warte umzusetzen... :(
