EDIT: YOU MOTHERFUCKING IDIOTS, THIS JOURNAL IS _NOT_ SERIOUS!! THOSE BANDS MENTIONED HERE ARE MY FAVOURITE ARTISTS!! (some insults could be serious like Stabbing the Drama is mediocre. Ok, they have got 1 mediocre album and 6(or 5, havent heard SBS) great.)

List of epic morons who thought that I don't like mentioned bands:
real_4_ever
bodomdrunk
OneForAll
Vanguard_Beggar
JayJay2k6


ines_8 apologized so she doesn't count :P But those gays mentioned above are just perfect examples on how dumb can humanity be.


Yeah, yeah, provocative title and it's only another 'bash your own top artists'.
So let's start.

In Flames - I'm not very keen on LS. BESIDEZ ZOMGZ THEIR NOT MELODETH ANYMOAR SO THEY MUST SUCK!11
Children of Bodom - Kinda stupid lyrics and vocalist has got provocative gay photos + black nails.
Rhapsody - lyrics lol. also SoEL 2 sucks.
The Offspring - CoO and Splinter have got many elements from pop-punk. And Splinter is just average.
Iron Maiden - (havent heard albums with Blaze yet) Well, too many chorus repetitions in BNW, AMOLAD and DOD. And DoD is average and BNW overrated imo.
Rage - Umm, really don't know what to say here... End of All Days is mediocre?
Sonata Arctica - Well, some lyrics are like taken from some emo band or something...
Queens of the Stone Age - Turnin on the Screw sucks :P I'm not very fond of their first album besides Regular John.
Megadeth - Risk. No, seriously. I don't like So Far either. And RIP is overrated as hell (i like it but 'best thrash metal album' my ass)
Helloween - THEYVE MADE A MISTAKE IN ALBUM TITLE LOLOLZ (Rabbit Don't Come Easy... unless I'm wrong). And sometimes they play too happy music :P (Far Away/Can Do It examples)
Soilwork - Stabbing the Drama is mediocre and I mean it.
Luca Turilli - 1. Lyrics, 2. third album.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - I'm still not sure how they got 999 plays in my charts. Oh, well. A lot of their songs are just plain boring.
Pink Floyd - Ok, you got me there. Hm, they have pink in their name so they must be some emogirl band :PP
Machinae Supremacy - SO THIS IS ALL THAT YOU CHOOSE? FUCKIN SILENCE AND ABUSE? NO R 4 U!!! :) and their webography is worse that their discography (its understable though)
Ensiferum - Huh, Dragonheads isn't as good as LPs?
Metallica - Load + Reload = BORING. S&M = nothing really special. St. Anger = wtf? And other CDs are overrated as well.
Dream Theater - LaBrie sometimes screams like a girl :P
Bruce Dickinson - Name lol.
Hunter - They were late on the show like 1,5 hour and they've only played 35 minutes :( (it was a free concert, but still). And Requiem is not that good. (quality sucks:/)
Judas Priest - zomg halford iz t3h g4y. on more serious note, nostradamus is... well, boring. angel of retribution is quite good, but still it can bore you sometime (like this gay ballad Angel wtf?). My opinion will propably get worse when I'll hear their stuff with Owens.
The Rolling Stones -some of their songs can be boring.
Dark Tranquillity - I don't like formatting C: :((( (though song is good, but idea of formatting C: sucks:P)
Nanowar - IT'S A HARD ONE. Seriously, how can you not like these guys? :P Um, they are Manowar fans and I don't like Manowar? :P Ok, bashed. Next.
Monstrum - HEAVY METAL! HEAVY METAL JAK WIATR O TAAAK!! // No i ta piosenka o stalowych koniach brzmi dwuznacznie :P
Ozzy Osbourne - His newer stuff can't really compare with his older stuff... not so bad, but still. Oh and he killed a bat. And Sharon Osbourne is a bitch. (this Iron Maiden bashing stuff... what the hell was she thinking?)
Disarmonia Mundi - They should get some live members and start touring. Although they wouldn't propably visit Poland and if they did, I wouldn't propably go to see them... Damn.
Porcupine Tree - Their stuff isn't really stable :) I mean, some of songs are boring (though not on In Absentia and Fear of a Blank Planet)
AC/DC - Too much singing 'bout sex? :P
Sum 41 - All Killer No Filler and the newest album (underclass hero i guess) suck. (exception: Pain For Pleasure. Goddamn, I love this song.)
Riverside - Huh, the last and the hardest one. Oh, I know. Their remix of Schizophrenic Prayer sucks hard. Their original is amazing, but remix... well.


That's it folks. As you can see, some of insults are half-serious, some are serious... not. And yes, I love you too.

The main reason of this journal (and its two predecessors, 2006 and 2007) is to see what I listened that year, as last.fm does not offer static year charts. Straight to the point - it's for me to see, so don't fill this page with comments like "what good is this to me?" :)

Statistics
7 new artists in top 30 (again!)
4 bands did not move from their places
7 bands moved up
12 bands moved down
Most listened artists in this year: In Flames (803), Soilwork (770), Nasum (547), Heaven Shall Burn (445), Nuclear Blast Allstars (437), The Black Dahlia Murder (397), Victims (386), Engel (365), Darkest Hour (364), Mastodon (335)

Some other interesting things...
"New" doesn't mean I started listening that band this year, it means the band entered top 30 this year. For example, if the 31st band moves up it's not +1, it's new.
The one and only reason for this journal being late 15 days is I couldn't get my lazy ass to write. So I took a screenshot of my charts at July 20th and wrote the journal now, haha.
The almighty laziness is also the answer to another question: Why did I remove the "Top 30 by country" thing? It takes a frakking long time to count the bands one by one.
lastfm still does have glitches - according to my journal I listened to Edge of Sanity 464 times last year, but now it's 460 and I'm pretty sure I listened them more than -4!

Ah, forgot to do this in time, so this is a couple of weeks late.

I had about 57,200 plays in total in the middle of July. That makes about 14,300 plays in total since July 2007. A 7,000 plays' drop from the previous years! What's happened to me?

As a consequence, the top 30 artist charts aren't that interesting:

01. (-) 浜崎あゆみ 1,089
02. (-) 坂本真綾 691
03. (-) The Faint 633
04. (-) System of a Down 606
05. (+3) Björk 594
06. (-1) 菅野よう子 567
07. (-) The Knife 565
08. (-2) Dir en grey 543
09. (*) Tuvalu 483
10. (-1) PMMP 469
11. (+3) HORSE the band 464
12. ( +1) Faithless 462
13. (-2) Rammstein 413
14. (+6) Lapko 411
15. (-5) Imogen Heap 409
16. (-) Seconds To Mars 395
17. (-5) Tool 387
18. (-) belladonnakillz 367
19. (+4) Infected Mushroom 360
20. (-3) Bloodpit 350
21. (-6) Johnny Cash 344
22. (*) Husky Rescue 342
23. (-4) Ulver 341
24. (-3) Carpark North 314
25. (-3) Machinae Supremacy 313
26. (+1) Maj Karma 281
26. (*) CMX 281
28. (-2) Regina 279
29. (-5) Fischerspooner 269
30. (*) Venetian Snares 261

There's less movement, and there are less new arrivals on the chart. Especially the top of the list has stayed the same, with only a few new plays for the artists.

So, now that Last.fm makes it possible, I've decided to add new chart here. The top 15 artists for the last 12 months (today):

01. Tuvalu 319
02. Eleanoora Rosenholm 257
03. Tegan and Sara 250
04. Husky Rescue 139
04. Battles 139
06. CMX 136
06. Björk 136
08. The Zombies 135
09. Lapko 128
10. Eisley 123
10. HORSE the band 123
12. Magyar Posse 122
12. Venetian Snares 122
14. Faithless 112
15. Disco Ensemble 110

Now that's more like it! The top three are quite clear, but after that it gets more even. This also gives a more precise picture of my recent listenings. As you can see, neither Eleanoora Rosenholm or Tegan and Sara aren't on the total top 30 chart, so I have listened to them more recently. On the other hand, there are some artists that I haven't listened to in a while even on this chart...

I'll try to remember to do this again next year.
