Its all about "Coke and Wet" by Spank Rock.

9. What is your favorite song by 5?
Bauhaus has a lot of great songs! But "Mask" is probably my most recent favorite.

11. What is your favorite album by 40?
My favorite Swans album is probably "Children of God"

12. What is your favorite song by 10?
Casual Sex is my all time favorite Faint song. Their cover of Enola Gay and In Concert are up there too.

Hmm I'm not actually sure, I think when I find heard "Chandeliers and Vines" was a really great memory of them.

14. What is your favorite song by 38?
For argument's sake, "Fuck the Pain Away" is Peaches's best song. It was the first song I ever heard from her and got me into her.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23?
"Gorgeous" was my first song from theSTART.

18. What is your favorite album by 11?
Is "In Shining Violence" an ep or album? Either way its my favorite by Chromatics.

Thats tricky. Obviously Siouxsie is pretty high up there but I love Steve Severin's bass work.

20. Have you ever seen 14 live?
None, Ian Curtis killed himself about 15 years before I was born. Although there's always New Order but its still not Joy Division.

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26?
Morningrise was my first Slowdive song.

The Salesman, Denver Max without a doubt. That IS The Blood Brother's song.

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32?

None. Really wish I saw Ladytron when they played Toronto in July.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy?
Aha Miyavi. I used to love him but now I find him sort of grating. "How To Love" always makes me happy though, I like the guitar work in it.

33. What is you favorite album by 12?
Definitely not Colors. Alaska is for sure my favorite. That album is gold. Between the Buried & Me are intense.

34. What is the worst song by 45?
Malice Mizer have a lot of really bad songs, anything with Gackt in it is of questionable quality. I miss Malice Mizer, don't get me wrong, but I like Tetsu era the best.

25. The Birthday Party

I really don't like Nick Cave's later work and his voice verges on annoying a lot for me.

24. Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I despise "Fever to Tell", I only like one or two songs off of it. Plus I don't understand why so many people love "Maps" so much.

23. Spank Rock

There's nothing bad that can be said about Spank Rock... except if I wanted to be really critical I could that some of their lyrics make them out to be misogynist pigs.

22. The Faint

All of their songs are about sex but they don't seem like the kind of guys that get laid very often.

21. Xiu Xiu

I don't really listen to ol' Xiu Xiu that much anymore but I still love them. If only Jamie Stewart wasn't so whiny and clingy sounding.

20. Dalek I Love You

Again, don't listen to these guys as much as I used too but it really sucks that they never became big, since they're really good at what they do.

19. Bishi

Her voice can be very shrill and grating at times.

18. Straight Reads the Line

They are way better live then on recording.

17. Placebo

I find that I really miss old Placebo these days, they are no where as good as they were before "Meds".

16. The Jesus and Mary Chain

"Darklands" was sort of a disappointment for me, they just aren't as good without all the walls of sound. Hell, its sort of sad to say that an artist is better when you can't hear them properly.

15. Visage

I can only listen to them sometimes + "Fade to Grey" is garbage.

14. Ladytron

I love almost everything by this band minus a couple of songs, mainly "Paco".

13. The Organ

Well I would say that I was pissed when they broke up but I heard they're back together and making a new album which makes me REALLY happy. What I don't like about them is how short their album was! Just a bit over a half hour. Thats crazy!

12. Joy Division

I know I might get some flack for this but I find them at times to be really boring. Sure JD is a great band and has some truly great songs but songs like "Passover" tarnish an almost perfect discography. Plus I find it sort of tacky that they named themselves after a groups of women in concentration camps that were pimped out to Nazis. Just saying...

11. Daisy Chainsaw

My only criticism of Daisy Chainsaw is how they broke up and became Queen Adreena. I like Queen Adreena but to me they are no where as good as Daisy Chainsaw.

10. Chromatics

I'm not big on this new disco sound they have now but they still are a really great band.

9. Between the Buried and Me

I love BTBAM but only in small amounts. I'm not used to 14 minute songs like the majority of songs on "Colors" but I'm trying to deal.

8. The Holly Springs Disaster

This band is pretty much perfection, I don't know what to say about them.

7. Patrick Wolf

I have to take points off for dying your hair orange, making proclamations about being bisexual, being eccentric and campy and being very skinny and pale. Sound familiar? It would be really easy to write him off as a Bowie copy cat.

6. Final Fantasy (Owen Pallet)

I can't really think of anything negative to say about him. He's too awesome.

5. Bauhaus

I tend to like their straightforward songs a lot more then their weird, arty songs. As for their new album I'm not really sure if I like it that much yet, I haven't really given it a chance but so far so good I guess.

4. Crystal Castles

No matter what anyone says about their recent controversies, people seem to forget that there has been far more artists then them that have illegally sampled other people's music not to mention artists who have stolen other people's art for promotion. That being said, I will admit that they do come off as really pretentious in interviews which might bite them in the ass if they don't cut the shit but they defiantly have a lot of potential.

3. David Bowie

Why did you contribute vocals to that horrible Scarlett Johansson album? I miss YOUR work, you haven't released an album in five years.

2. The Blood Brothers

I hate to say this but I don't really like Cody's and Johnny's new band Jaguar Love... even though I'm hopefully seeing them in a couple of weeks with The Faint and Genghis Tron. Other then that I really wish you didn't break up...

1. Siouxsie & The Banshees

I have to say, before I really wasn't digging Siouxsie's solo album but its grown on me a lot. With that said, I don't understand why a lot of SATB fans love Kiss in the Dreamhouse so much. Its one of my least favorite albums by them.

Opening Credits
Augustine- Patrick Wolf

This song is really depressing for the opening credits. The Magic Position would make for a way happier beginning.

Waking Up
New York New York- Nina Hagen

This is really random, but I sort of like the thoughts of it to a montage of me getting dressed.

First Day at School
Bullets- The Misfits

Meh...

Falling in Love
Moss Garden- David Bowie

I could see this being used in some weird 80's sex scene in a movie, maybe The Hunger.

Breaking Up
Enjoy the Abuse- Combichrist:

Sort of disturbing and morbid.
I like the thoughts of it :)

Prom
Classic Girl- Jane's Addiction

Way too chill of a song, you need something loud and crazy for prom.

Getting Back Together
Laser Speed- Between the Buried and Me

I can sort of see it fitting but its a little random.

Mental Breakdown
Three Girl Rhumba- Wire

Terrible for a breakdown, Pink Flower by Daisy Chainsaw would have been perfect.

Driving
I am Not Surprised- The Organ

Its a meh choice, I think other songs would work better.

Flashback
Trash Flavored Trash- The Blood Brothers

Sounds like a pretty sick flash back.

Meeting Someone New
Disco 2000- Pulp

Weird song choice, the lyrics in the song sound like a stalkerish guy... not to say I'm not.

Wedding
Alice- Sisters of Mercy

What a fucked up wedding.

Birth of Child
A Lot Like Vegas- Bring Me the Horizon

I'd say this works pretty well for child birth.

Final Battle
Informal Gluttony- Between the Buried and Me

This would be amazing in a battle scene, the opening is epic!

Death Scene
Face to Face- Siouxsie & The Banshees

Thats perfect for a death scene, the lyrics work well with it.

Funeral Scene
To the Grind- Arise and Ruin

Doesn't really work with a funeral...

End Credits
Piazza, The New York Catcher- Belle and Sebastian

Miyavi:
His fans can be really annoying.

19. Death from Above 1979:
Their such an amazing group and I find it really sad that they only made one album before breaking up.

18. Final Fantasy (Owen Pallet):
His music can sort of make me depressed sometimes.

17. Daisy Chainsaw:
Again, they made only one album before disbanding and a bunch of insanely good demos. I don't like "Love Your Money" all that much either.

16. The Smiths:
Their sort of overrated to tell you the truth. Yeah, their influential, great songwriting, intelligent etc. but some of their songs are so into self pity and angst.

15. Ministry:
I sort of don't get why their in my top 20 since the only songs by them that I love are "Should Have Known Better" and "Everyday is Halloween". I also prefer their older work to newer.

14. Neon Blonde:
They disbanded right before I started listening to them.

13. Yeah Yeah Yeahs:
Their first album so so much better then the second, the second album gets old really fast.

12. Placebo:
I used to love them but I don't really listen to them as much as I used to.

11. Bauhaus:
Stole from Bowie shamelessly.

10. Malice Mizer:
I didn't like the Gackt era too much.

9. Holly Springs Disaster:
Amazing Canadian band, really good at shows but their lead singer looks like a crack head.

8. Between the Buried And Me:
Some of their songs are way too long.

7. Kommunity Fk:
They haven't made new material (or atleast good) since the mid 80's but they tour consistently.

6. The Organ:
Stole quite a bit from Joy Division, The Cure and The Smiths to be original but still amazing.

5. Crystal Castles:
RELEASE THE NEW ALBUM SOON!

4. Joy Division:
Way too depressing to listen to sometimes.

3. David Bowie:
The late 80's albums weren't so great.

2. The Blood Brothers:
They broke up before I could see them live.

1. Siouxsie & The Banshees:
I'm not so into Siouxsie's solo work.
