1. How did you get into 29?

Candlemass I realized one day that I need to listen to more swedish metal bands because I'm swedish, and even if it took some time for me to get into Candlemass they took a big place on my chart and will most likely keep this solid place.

2: What was the first song you ever heard by 22?

Ayreon Day One: Vigil. The first song on the most popular Ayreon album on last.fm. It's more the whole Human Equation album than just one song that gave Ayreon this spot.

3: What’s your favorite…

Which songs can you listen to over and over again and never get tired of them? I'm doing a test to see if any of these can last 100 days? If I sometime skip a song on this playlist, it's out for ever. The order I play the songs are random on each day.

I somehow forgot this project, but then decided to pick it up once again. I have now listenend to this playlist for 10 days and some songs have already got booted. But I'm sure that many others will soon get booted to, because there are many…

Long time ago I read a couple of journals of people that picked 10 songs that they would listen to in 100 days, and if they got tired of one song then they could just remove it from the play list. The whole point of this game is to find out if any of the songs stands the test of time. Now I thought it would be more interesting if I picked 40 songs, because there's no way that I will be able to listen to all of them in 100 days. I have a feeling that more than 50%…

As I said 6 months ago when I did Slayer, I'm going to finish this project god dammit!. I have already done Megadeth and Slayer, so I thought it was time to do Anthrax next. Today Anthrax isn't near as popular as the other three in the big four, but if I understands it correct Anthrax was way more popular than Slayer in the 80's, I remember I even saw them in a Married with Children episdoe (Whatever that means about popularity).

Fistful of Metal

Anthrax's first album is perhaps not the one that made them famous and one of…

It's been about six month since I did this about Megadeth, and now I've finally decided to finish this project. For those who don't know which bands is included in the big four of thrash it's: Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. While Slayer isn't the most successful of them, it sure is the most influental of them.

Show no Mercy

The debut of Slayer is not their best of them all, but it sure kicks ass. It's also interesting to listens to this and then another album and realize how Slayer have envolved. Since this album sounds a little different,…

For some reason I wanted to make journals about the big four of thrash, which are Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and of course Anthrax. A lot of people seems to think that either Testament or Exodus is a part of the big four, but I think they never became as successful as the four I mentinoed. While it would make more sense to start with either Metallica or Slayer, I decided to start with Megadeth. I doubt I need to say it, but what I will say below is just my opinion and in no way a fact.…

Jag tyckte att det var på tiden att någon skriver någonting om Ankie Bagger. Eftersom hennes shoutbox var helt tom tänkte jag att jag lika gärna kunde skriva om vad den här artisten är för just mig, när ingen ens har haft med henne i en "bestäm ditt öde efter låtnamnet" grejer. naturligtvis är det så klart en skandal att absolut ingen har sagt något om Ankie tidigare här på last.fm, och eftersom jag bara har Ankie i min connection här så kommer bara andra som lyssnar på henne att läsa den här.

Vem är jag då? Jag är en…

I'm not sure how old this is, but I just found out about this, and I was shocked to see how credible the top 10 list actually was. While I would have done a few changes, it's still 10 of the best bands that has ever released an album.

In case if anyone is wondering, here's what MTV considered to be honorable mentions:

Alice in Chains
Anthrax
Faith No More
In Flames
Megadeth
Mercyful Fate
Ministry
Sepultura
System of a Down
Tool
Van Halen
Venom

Bands I would add to honorable mentions: Helloween, Dio and Manowar.

And now to the…

I'm such a copy cat :D

Rules:
Pick your favourite song from each of your top 10 artists and put them in a playlist.
Listen through the playlist once a day.
When you feel you've got bored of a song, remove it from the list.
Rinse and repeat until only one song remains. This is the song that best stands the test of time.
Keep a record of how many days each song lasts for reference.
If after 100 days there is more than 1 song left, call it a draw! Any song that lasts that long deserves some recigniton!…
