Top 10 artists (in random order):

2. Darren Hayes
3. Linda Eder
4. Michael Buble
5. Loudon Wainwright III
6. Josh Groban
7. Savage Garden
8. Rockapella
9. Dar Williams
10. Richard Shindell


What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
"To Where You Are" - Audiogalaxy recommended him, so I listened, loved him, and have been a fan ever since.

What is your favorite album of 2?
This one's hard. I almost always like some of Darren's stuff immediately, but the rest of it has to grow on me. I guess I'll go with Spin because it's been growing on me the longest.

What is your favorite lyric that 5 has sung?
I'm currently addicted to his song "Men" and out of that my favorite lyrics are:

When a ship is sinking
And they lower the lifeboats
And hand out the lifejackets
The men keep on their coats


AND

It's the men who have the power
It's the men who have the might
And the world's a place of horror
Because each man thinks he's right


How many times have you seen 4 live?
None

What is your favorite song by 7?
"Two Beds and a Coffee Machine", It's so simple and stark and beautiful.

What is a good memory you have involving the music of 10?
Ummm...his music's not really "good memory" music.

Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
"Even Now"

What is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung?
Hardest question so far because I ususally love Darren's lyrics.

I tried to keep my distance
And I've sung Amazing Grace
I've tarnished all our memories
But there'll always be a trace of you

-Dublin Sky

OR

They don't know you like I do
They don't see the good inside you
They don't lie with you in bed
And join you when you're dreaming

-Void

How did you get into 3?
I found a song by Kyle Lowder ("Where's the Girl?" from The Scarlet Pimpernel) and in my quest to find more songs from the musical, stumbled across Linda Eder singing "When I Look at You." There was no looking back. I know she's compared to Barbra Streisand a lot, but I really don't get it because I like Linda a lot more.

What was the first song you heard by 1?
Probably one of his soundtrack songs, so "Everything I Do (I Do it For You)" or "All for Love"

What is your favorite song by 4?
"Home" is a little overplayed (even though I still love it), so I'll go with his cover of Leonard Cohen's "I'm Your Man."

How many times have you seen 9 live?
Never.

What is a good memory you have involving 2?
July 18, 2006

Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
Not really, "People Change" is kind of sad, but not enough to make me sad.

What is your favorite album of 5?
History

What is your favorite lyric that 3 has sung?
Started out the way most do
Running on imagination
Out into a world that I was sure I knew
Add a dose of reality
And a little desperation
I became a stranger in a stranger land

-Across the Water

What is your favorite song of 1?
"When You Love Someone" - I *adore* Davy Spillane on the MTV Unplugged version of this song.

What is your favorite song of 10?
"The Ballad of Mary Magdalene"

How many times have you seen 8 live?
Never...are we detecting a trend here?

What is your favorite album of 1?
"MTV Unplugged" or "A Day Like Today"

What is a great memory you have involving 9?
Again, not so much with the "great memory" type of songs.

What was the first song you heard by 8?
The Carmen Sandiego theme. ;) But the song that made me stop and really listen was "People Change"

What is your favorite cover by 2?
"In Your Eyes" I might even like it better than the Peter Gabriel original.

"In Your Eyes" better then the original? *huffs* ;-)

What can I say, I heard Darren's version first. It did make me go out and find the original, though. :D

well, then that's ok. ;-)
