I did this survey about 5 years ago. I figured I would do it again since I've added a lot to my library since then.

Put your music player on shuffle

I thought this might be a fun idea for a journal entry. These are my personal choices for favorite and least favorite albums. These aren't necessarily what I think are the best and worst albums from the artists. I'd love to hear what other fans of these artists have to say about these albums and their personal choices for favorite and least favorite album.

1. Tori Amos

Favorite Album: Little Earthquakes
Even though I'm not sure if this is necessarily Tori's best album, it will always be the one that has the most personal meaning to me. I can relate…

I figured I would do this survey again since I have added so much music to my computer in recent years.

I did this a few years ago. Since my top 50 has changed quite a bit in the last few years, I figured I'd do this again.

1. How did you get into #31? I saw Sarah Harmer's You Were Here album at Best Buy. For some reason, I was intrigued by the cover so I went home and sampled it on the internet. I liked what I heard, so I bought the album and everything else she released after that.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by #22? I've been listening to Sonic Youth since…

1. How did you get into #31? Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton A few of my last.fm friends that I share music taste with recommended this artist to me. I've always liked Metric, but I fell in love with Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton. She is probably my favorite artist right now. This artist rekindled my love for Metric as well :)

2. What was the first song you ever heard by #22? The Softies - Snow Like This

3. What's your favorite lyric by #29?
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and…

1. Tori Amos
Favourite song : This is a nearly impossible task since I love nearly every song this woman has ever composed. I guess I will say Spark since this is the first Tori song I fell in love with. I love everything about it, including the dark ambient melody and the brilliant and complex metaphor-laden lyrics.
Favourite album : I have to say Little Earthquakes This…

"Get your top 20 artists, and find which of their tracks you've played the most on iTunes/Windows Media Player. Then see where it comes in that artist's "most-played" lists. The lower the track in the list, the weirder you are…or something to that effect."

1. Tori Amos
My top track: Rattlesnakes This is not my favorite Tori song, nor is it her best, since it is a cover, but I adore this song so much. This one song made the horrible Strange Little Girls worth my 13 dollars. It helps me mellow out.
Ranking: 72. That is not surprising. It…
