Well, it's been awhile since I've done a pointless meme post, so here's this one that start the circuit again. I know I've done this before, so I tried to do it with bands I'm pretty sure I didn't use the prior time(s):
If you're going to do this, pick 10 bands before you go on to the questions below. No particular order.
1. Iron Maiden
2. Piebald
3. Dead Kennedys
4. Ben Folds Five
5. Finch
6. They Might Be Giants
7. Snake River Conspiracy
8. Relient K
9. Tsunami Bomb
10. Evergreen Terrace
What was the first song you ever heard by 6 (They Might Be Giants)?
I'm pretty sure it was an episode of Tiny Toons. Either the one with Istanbul or Particle Man, I can't remember. Either way, it's been a long time.
Know anyone that likes 6 (They Might Be Giants)?
Anybody who doesn't is just plain crazy.
What about 7 (Snake River Conspiracy)?
I don't know, they're not exactly the most popular band in the universe, but I'm pretty sure at least Liz likes them.
What is your favorite song by 8 (Relient K)?
In love with the '80s. For reasons of catchy nature and I'm always singing it to myself.
What kind of impact has 1 (Iron Maiden) left on your life?
They were one of the first metal bands I ever listened to. They pretty much influenced my entire musical preference.
What is your favorite song by 5 (Finch)?
I really do love everything by them. But probably one of my favorite songs is Worms of the Earth. Killer track off the Underworld Soundtrack.
How many times have you seen 4 (Ben Folds Five) live?
None, sadly. They never really toured in areas which were convenient for me when they were still together, and alas now Ben is doing his solo career. Which I actually like better and had a chance to see, but I would have had to pay for John Mayer tickets. Ew.
When was the last time you’ve seen 1 (Iron Maiden) live?
Never. We were going to see them in Denver one of the first years I went to warped tour, but for some reason they canceled that show, and I was mad.
Have you seen 10 (Evergreen Terrace) live?
I would like to, but I didn't really get into them until a couple years ago.
What about 2 (Piebald)?
Nah. I like their music and they have a funky fresh sound, but I don't know that I would really want to go to that concert. They're not the kind of band I would make a road trip for.
Own any of 5’s (Finch) CDs?
What it is to Burn is the only full album I own, but it is a damn decent album.
Favorite three songs from 9 (Tsunami Bomb)?
El Diablo, 20 Going on..., and 3 days 1000 nights. Because it's nautical nonsense.
When did you first get into 1 (Iron Maiden)?
Ages and ages ago. One of my friends made me listen to them in junior high and I was like, "dude, this is the best music ever."
How did you get into 3 (Dead Kennedys)?
Um... I think Jason made me listen to them in high school. 80s style punk rock for the win.
What is your favorite song by 4 (Ben Folds Five)?
ooh... that's a tough choice, because I really liked Whatever and Ever Amen as a whole for an album, but Unauthorized Biography had catchy tunes... I think I'll have to go with One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces, just because it's the song that got me into them in the first place.
What is your favorite song by 1 (Iron Maiden)?
2 Minutes to Midnight. Or Iron Maiden. Both amazing songs.
How did you become a fan of 7 (Snake River Conspiracy)?
One day late night on the edge, when it was still 107.9, they played... Vulcan, I think, and I really liked it. Then I never heard anything else from them, and I was confused. But then they toured with A Perfect Circle (the first time they toured), and I about crapped myself with excitement.
Favorite thing about 3 (Dead Kennedys)?
I have a soft spot for '80s punk. They're crazy and political, but it's like... ironically political, so I think that's why I like them over anything else in that era.
Which have you been a fan of the longest!
They Might Be Giants, what with the whole Tiny Toons thing.
