Most influent genre of 2010: Game Music
Even if I didn't included these to my yearly stats, it is clear that most influent genre was game music. Very variable themes and melodies plus having very proggish feels makes Nobuo Uematsus work great. Also good memories from past 10 years when i played those games were nice.
Most scrobbled game music things were:
Artist: Nobuo Uematsu
Album: Final Fantasy IX Original Soundtrack
Song: Kuja's theme
Gig of the year
Avenged Sevenfold @ Helsinki
