1. How did you get into 29? Dead Kennedys

I got interested in punk when I was 16 or 17 and they were one of the groups I totally gravitated toward.

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

Either "I Wanna Be Sedated" or "Blitzkrieg Bop," both of which were used in "Vacation" movies if I'm not mistaken.

3. What’s your favourite lyric by 33? Johannes Brahms

He was a Romantic composer who didn't write operas or tone/symphonic poems. He wrote some songs, though, including the "Four Serious Songs" piece. The lyrics of those are taken from Bible verses. Here's my favorite of those, Ecclesiastes 3:19:

For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts,
as the one dieth, so dieth the other;
yea, they have all one breath;
so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast:
for all is vanity.

4. What is your favourite album by 49? Slayer

Hell Awaits

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? Pixies

Four (Surfer Rosa, Doolittle, Bossanova, Trompe le monde), one EP (Come on Pilgrim) and two compilations (At the BBC and The Complete B-Sides).

6. What is your favourite song by 50? Black Flag

In My Head which, hey, is also my favorite album of theirs! How do you like that?

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? The Band

It Makes No Difference

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctKlYHZOkUQ

They have some other songs that make me kind of sad but I would describe that sadness as more of a "wiftfulness." This one just makes you want to reach for the razor blade.

8. What is your favourite album by 15? Misfits

Legacy of Brutality (kind of cheating, I guess, since it's a compilation of their early stuff and not really an "album," but otherwise it's basically a choice between Walk Among Us and Chaos AD/Wolfsblood)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vlTBA8fSoY

9. What is your favourite song by 5? Earth

Pretty much impossible for me to pick, but here's one I like a lot from an album of theirs that a lot of critics who otherwise tend to review the band favorably for some reason slept on: "His Teeth Bid Brightly Shine" from Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? Pink Floyd

Considering most of their most famous songs and albums concern depression, insanity, war, the shitty and corrupting nature of the music business, I wouldn't really say Pink Floyd is a "happy" band. I guess "San Tropez" because it sounds like Jimmy Buffett by way of Pink Floyd but manages to be good despite that horrible mental image:

11. What is your favourite album by 40? The Velvet Underground

The Velvet Underground & Nico, most of the time

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw4tHPUK6ig

12. What is your favourite song by 10? Thelonious Monk

Bemsha Swing. This isn't the original recording of the song but I like this version, done for quartet for the album Brilliant Corners, a little more than some of the others such as the original trio version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBzh-8SKB2U

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? Killing Joke

Not particularly but that should reflect less negatively on the band than on my lack of good memories.

14. What is your favourite song by 38? Kyuss

El Rodeo. This isn't an official music video, but it's great footage that makes a good pairing with the song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVm8G0ipETc

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? Jethro Tull

Yes, lots. Bouree is one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFox3z5x7vM

16. How many times have you seen 25 live? Faith No More

Not a one. But maybe now thay they're going to be releasing a new album and doing more touring maybe that will make that possible.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? Cows

Blown, the first song on the first album of theirs I bought, Sexy Pee Story. At that time it wasn't possible to find any song you wanted in seconds via YouTube, Spotify, etc.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOLaEofEbGw

18. What is your favourite album by 11? Johnny Cash

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-97L2Yc3l5M

N/A, I don't think.

20. Have you ever seen 14 live? Townes Van Zandt

No, and he's dead so I never will.

21. What is a good memory involving 27? Dead Can Dance

The announcement that they were reuniting to record a new album in addition to touring was pretty exciting.

22. What is your favourite song by 16? Clutch

I could spend all day trying to answer this one. Here's my favorite song (D.C. Sound Attack!) from their latest album Earth Rocker.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXIzmM1DaW8

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? Faust

It's a Rainy Day Sunshine Girl

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRxvQmTTz5I

24. What is your favourite album by 18? Dwarves

The 16-minute epic Blood Guts & Pussy. Say what you want to about these guys but they can write a catchy punk song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4rhgN32H3s

25. What is your favourite song by 21? The Residents

Walter Westinghouse

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxdfYwcT9qc

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? Black Sabbath

I'm sure it was either "Iron Man" or "Paranoid."

30. What is your favourite song by 8? Fugazi

Really hard to pick. Here's one of my favorites from my favorite Fugazi album (The Argument), though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdMT71DC3cA

31. How many times have you seen 17 live? The Byrds

Never. They were broken up before I was born.

Yes, several. Why, here's one right now!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F88HajvKbPw

33. What is you favourite album by 12? Nomeansno

Impossible for me to pick. This one's definitely up there, though:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUUg5c-HY0E

34. What is the worst song by 45? Joseph Haydn

The one where he says all women are "bitches" and "ho's." Haydn made some beautiful music but his brand of misogynistic gangsta rap is hard to reconcile with the beauty of his string quartets and masses and so forth.

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? Minutemen

Little Man with a Gun in His Hand

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTVl_2ENTXo

Black Tar Prophecies Vols. 1, 2 and 3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GflC3xmtLTk

Heavenly Arms

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY6ICGm4CLQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHLjqkC1gPg

40. What is your favourite album by 7? Johann Sebastian Bach[/artist[

He has no "albums," per se, so I'll list my favorite of his works, The St. Matthew Passion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm1os4VzTgA

41. Is there a song by 31 that makes you happy? The Rolling Stones

Yeah, plenty! None of them is the song "Happy," though. Here's one that makes me happy although it's not an especially happy song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xubWr3ogmZc

42. What is your favourite album by 41? Miles Davis

I don't know that I could pick one. Here's one that's great, though: Cookin' with the Miles Davis Quintet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcIiu1kQMx0

43. What is your favourite song by 24? The Kinks

That's very nearly impossible for me to say. Here's one that I love though: Holiday in Waikiki

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY-y3kKo6dw

44. What is a good memory you have involving 46? Grails

I don't know that I have one. Sorry.

45. What is your favourite song by 35? Neil Young

Way too hard to just pick one. Whenever I make a list of favorites, though,this one always turns up pretty quickly into the process:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fAXl97-RFg

46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy? Melvins

Lots of 'em. A History of Drunks is the first one that came to mind.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0WvnQKzugE

47. What is your favourite album by 4? The Clash

Combat Rock. I couldn't find a YouTube link for the full album, so here's one of my favorite songs from the album. Interestingly, a lot of geniuses call this album a "sellout effort" because it's got "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" and "Rock the Casbah" on it. Well, it also has peculiar but awesome shit on it, like this and "Atom Tan" and "Sean Flynn" and a bunch of others.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raGsgsuPFAw

48. Who is a favourite member of 37? John Coltrane

Coltrane's Sound, which also isn't available in full on YouTube from what I can tell, but here's Equinox from that album:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5QGBHavF0U

49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43? Ween

Take Me Away. First song on Chocolate and Cheese, which was a blind buy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7okvyg7MCU

50. How many albums do you own by 20?

I've owned probably about 10-12 at one point or another but currently own only 3: Filth Pig, Side Trax and In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up.
