23. It put Pixies at #1. They are indeed my favorite band.
Screaming Trees #2 -- I like them, but not quite THAT much.

After that, my list goes to hell. ;) (Dave Matthews Band, Paul Simon, The Doors, Billy Fucking Joel, Hot Snakes, Eric Clapton, and Jethro Tull all rank higher than THE WHO??? :wtf:)

12. Clearly you just don't know what type of music you like
Mine weren't exactly right. Metallica and Black Sabbath were at the top and I don't particularly like either.

8. I know this is wrong because The Beatles didn't come in until #9,
and I am a firmly established Beatles geek.

13. It's like there's a pool of 40 or so bands/artists from which it
can choose.

And they're all firmly mainstream types, except for the Hot Snakes (how th hell did THEY get on that list?!)

14. Yeah, the Hot Snakes thing's kind of a headscratcher.
I love that band, and they squeaked onto my list at #25.

:wtf:

15. Me too, and they're snugly twist Nine Inch Nails (who I hate) and
Dave Matthews Band (who I hate even more).

All of which compounds the weirdness of this quiz, since I mentioned that a real drummer was very important to my enjoyment of the music, and Nine Inch Nails sooooo do not qualify.

Black Sabbath was my #1. I can deal with that.

21. My list includes both bands I don't like and bands I've never heard
Plus a few bands that I do like. The questions were too black and white and the number of bands on the full list was too small for the number of bands that ended up in one's results.

22. My list couldn't have been more wrong :)
But it was interesting anyhow.
I got Hot Snakes as number one, but I have no idea what a Hot Snake is.
