* request

This year was a year of great changes to my musical taste. Catch me in January 2009 and I'd say my favourite artist was Evanescence (I still LIKE them, just not as much). I hit 450 artists simply 'cause I wanted to *eyeroll*. The two camps I sit between are no longer pop rock and gothic metal, but industrial rock and circus metal.

Recently, I realized something as well: a big artist count (as in, 1000 or more) is nothing more than a cosmetic award, with as much worth in the real world as internets or e-peen. Sure, it's fun to see the newly discovered artists adding to the count but if you don't really enjoy them that's all they'll ever do. No matter how hard we try to stay pure, at the end of the day, we humans are naturally picky and narrow-minded. Now put down that Florence + the Machine album and go listen to the music you really like. (With no offence to fans, buuut...)

This will be quite similar to my overall top artists list because I only started scrobbling around the end of 2009.
