Top 50 Quiz

1. What's your favorite song by 14?

Fantômas: it was kind of random if I recall; might've read a review on Pitchfork or something. Well worth the investigation.

Deftones: Black Moon: its kind of really bad, remove the rapping and its pretty decent.

16. Where did you first hear 6?
Modest Mouse: most likely the radio or on MTV.

17. How long was 19 a singer before you liked them?

The Black Keys: Everywhere I Go

27. Is there a song by 32 that you've listened to more than 30 times?

28. What is a song from 50 that you've only listened to once?
