[shamanicshaymin]

Darn. Most of the stuff I listen is random lately, but here we go...

Yoinked from kalle:

Name your top 10 most played bands on Last.fm Winamp:

1.) Smashing Pumpkins
2.) Tori Amos
3.) NIN
4.) Sonic... stuff. XDDD;;;
5.) Phantom of the Opera
6.) Sarah Brightman
7.) Sarah McLachlan
8.) Alanis Morissette
9.) Linkin Park (Suddenly got addicted to "Place For My Head". oO;;;)
10.) And of course... Orgy

Now answer the questions according to the numbers.



-- what was the first song you ever heard by 6? {Sarah Brightman}

"Eden" from a pretty FF7 AMV. ^^

-- what is your favourite album of 2? {Tori Amos}

No idea, I don't own a CD by her yet. ._.;;;; A couple of my mega favorites come from "Little Earthquakes", though.

-- what is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung? {PotO}

Damn, that's a tough one. T-T

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me, each night, each morning

Anywhere you go, let me go too
That's all I ask of you...

--"All I Ask of You" (Hush, it was the first that leapt to mind. :P And I'm a complete sap, so ignore me. XDDD)

-- how many times have you seen 4 live? {Sonic... stuff. XDDD;;;}

Crush 40 live? Oh DUDE. I'd SO pay for that. *_____________* That, and someone performing a "Sonic" orchestra. *nodnod*

-- what is your favourite song by 7? {Sarah McLachlan}

Again, a tough one. I particulary like the songs from "Fumbling Toward Ecstacy" and "Solace", though. (And the songs from the latter are still on Dad's laptop. ARGH! I hope he still has 'em. I should ask. ._.;;;) As for song? Oscar goes to "Elsewhere". That song scaringly reminds me of me. ._.;;;

-- what is a good memory you have considering the music of 10? {Orgy}

Oh gods. I have to count!? *_______________* I'll have to give the nod to when I was looking up "THIS MACHINE" from "Sonic Heroes" and realizing that Amir Deryk & Ryan Shuck, who indeed are members of Orgy, have formed the side-project Julien-K. ;D Orgy as Shadow music? OMG I WAS SOOOOOOOOOO RIGHT! I PROPHISIZED! *____________________* It's not everyday you realize your favorite band does music for your favorite character in your favorite series, when you've been listening to them for inspiration on said character and series all along. :3333

-- is there a song of 3 that makes you sad? {NIN}

"Hurt" and "Something I Can Never Have". 'Nuff said. ._.;;;; And 'prolly "A Warm Place" depending on my mood.

-- what is your favourite lyric that 2 has sung? {Tori Amos}

Again, tough one. ._.;;; She sings a lotta good stuff. I could say the entirety of "Winter" (or even "Mr. Zebra", I find it a fun song-a-long for an odd reason. XDDDD;;;), but... well, let's go with the first-that-leapt-to-mind trick again:

These precious things
Let them bleed, let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me...

--"Precious Things"

-- what is your favourite song by 9? {Linkin Park}

*DED* Mmm... "Somewhere I Belong", I think. 'Prolly "In the End" or "Carousel" too.

-- how did you get in to 3? {NIN}

One of my favorite AMVs ever was made by Kusoyaro, and it was an Akira/Ghost in the Shell/Serial Experiment Lain AMV to "The Becoming". My sis and I found the song catchy, so we had it on Winamp for a long time. I was still scared to seek them out for a long time, though, even a little paranoid to see what a friend thought of me when I requested "Becoming" again. XDD;;; Then, Cammi drew a picture with Leon running to the first lyrics of "The Perfect Drug"... also by NIN. I downloaded, and became absolutely ESTATIC by it. I wouldn't stop listening to it and repeating it on Winamp. So, it truly was a, yes... perfect drug. XDDD Finally, I set qualms aside and found "Closer" through fst... to think the lyrics had me worried? Well, this is where the irony comes in:

I hate sex. Hate it, hate it, hate it. *TANK'D!* But "Closer"? Well, that REALLY has to say something about Puri and/or the music if she loves, loves, LOVES this song, considers it one of her favorites (if not ever), and has listened to it so many times over the years and not get sick of it. XDDDDD

Finally, NIN's stuff proved addicting, and THAT was when I spotted "The Downward Spiral" at a store during a CD buying spree. That was the first thing I've listened to, and now it's one of my favorite albulms ever. *______________* And hey, all the more Shadow inspiration for me~! *SHOT'D!*

Even today, I'm still brainwashed by "Closer" and "The Perfect Drug"... XDDDDD;;; *points to Spiralmouth* Now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna play certain track off "Lost Highway" for the 100000000000000000000000th time. ;D

-- what was the first song you heard by 1? {Smashing Pumpkins}

I believe it was "With Every Light", another one of Kusoyaro's AMVs, dedicated to some of Miyazaki's stuff. :)

-- what is your favourite song by 4? {Sonic... stuff. XDDD;;;}

The Marble Zone music from Sonic 1 and the Icecap Zone from Sonic 3. 8)

Let's break it down (by vocals, to make my life easier):

Sonic CD: "Sonic Boom", "Cosmic Eternity"
Sonic R: "Can You Feel the Sunshine?", "Livin' in the City", "Back in Time" (Okay, a lotta stuff from Sonic R. Lemme alone, I like my corny, fluffy music. XDDDD)
Sonic Adventure 1: "Believe in Myself", "Theme of E-102" (Hush, the last one has a leeeeeetle vocals if you listen carefully at the beginning! :P)
Sonic Adventure 2: "Supporting Me", "Live & Learn" "Rhythm & Balance", "E.G.G.M.A.N." and maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe "Throw It All Away", but... damn! It sounds so crappy compared to Shadow's other songs, 'specially the newer ones! XDDD Amusing for nostalgic/poke fun value, though. "Look kids! It's Retro*Shadow as Retro*Shadow's gonna get! XDDDDDD!"
Sonic Heroes: "THIS MACHINE", "What I'm Made Of..." and maybe "Follow Me", though not really, as it pales compared to the other two songs. XDDD;;;
Shadow the Hedgehog: "All Hail Shadow"... just kidding! XDDDD! *STEAM ROLLER'D!* "Chosen One", "I Am... All of Me", "Never Turn Back", and "Waking Up". "Almost Dead" comes close though, but it's not nearly as awesome as "When Worlds Collide". X333 I like all the vocal tracks except "All Hail Shadow", actually. XDDD
Sonic Rush: "Wrapped in Black" (the first part especially/specifically), "A New Day", "Back 2 Back", "Get Edgy", "Ska Cha Cha", "Right There, Ride On"

And whatever there is to come...

-- how many time have you seen 9 live? {Linkin Park}

Zero. Now please come up with new questions. ._.;;;

-- what is a good memory you have concerning 2? {Tori Amos}

I ignored my sister's advice against listening to her and started going on my own.

I dunno, though. I think the fuzziest memory comes from hearing "A Sorta Fairytale" for the first times, and when my family heard the song and started commenting nicely on it, even my sister. ^^ Rare thing for my music to do. XDDDD;;;

-- is there a song of 8 that makes you sad? {Alanis Morissette}
"Your House", a secret track at the end of a surprise repeat of "You Oughta Know" from "Jagged Little Pill".

-- what is your favourite album of 5? {PotO}

WELL DOI~! :33333!

Unless you're speaking what version... than the original Broadway. X333

-- what is your favourite lyric that 4 has sung? {Sonic... stuff. XDDD;;;}

Dude. This requires the whole damn song:

I'm gonna be desperate

Never lose... hurry...
Never lose... hurry...

I believe in my future, farewell to the shadow
It was my place to live, but now I need your hand
Lead me out with your light, I have breathed in the disgusting air of darkness
But I never lose to the pressure

Everything's just like an illusion
I'll be losing you before long...

I never lose my confidence

I know you're supporting me... supporting me... supporting me...
I'll be losing you before long...

I'm gonna be desperate

Never lose... hurry...
Never lose... hurry...

--"Supporting Me" (SA2) (Biolizard theme)

-- what is your favourite song of 1? {Smashing Pumpkins}

Flipping coins between "Eye", "Galapogos", and "Ava Adore".

-- what is your favourite song of 10? {Orgy}

"Stitches", "Fiction (Dreams in Digital)", "Platinum", "Blue Monday", "Make Up Your Mind", "Faces", "Eva", "Eyes-Radio-Lies", and for a couple odd ones, "Saving Faces" and "Dramatica". I'll just say that my favorite albulm is "Vapor Transmission". XDDDDD;;;
-- how many times have you seen 8 live? {Alanis Morissette}

Like, never? :D

-- what is your favourite album of 1? {Smashing Pumpkins}

I'm Winamp/fst spoiled. I don't know the name of ANY of their albums, though I can look it up. XDDDD;;;


God, this survey sucked. There was like, ONE question asked about Sarah Brightman, and that was it. ._.;;;; Yeah well, STFU, Brightman-hating meme! T-T
