[Hitori]

Best band – the usual best bands for me… MDB, anathema, katatonia, porcupine tree, pineapple thief, for example

Worst band – too many to list, special mention to tatu, they irritate me

Best album – lots of good ones, swallow the sun delivered... Audrey horne… dunno, lots.

Worst album – porcupine tree’s Deadwing disappointed me, save for some songs. Maybe I was expecting a lot. Solefald wasn’t what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that bad.

Best song – pink floyd “wish you were here”, tori amos “total eclipse of the heart” and “I don’t like Mondays”, I could go on and on.

Worst song – “golosa” (only Mexicans will be unfortunate enough to have listened to it)

Best tour – I enjoyed into eternity / hate eternal / krisiun in texas

Best live act – dark tranquillity

Most overhyped band- nevermore and opeth

Most underrated band – tenhi

Best band dvd – didn’t see any

Best comeback – umm. Kreator when they played here. Can’t think of any comeback other than that and the backstreet boys.

Band you miss the most – none

Band you want to go away – none

Best movie – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Best web site – blogs of friends

Best game – world of warcraft

Best drink – tequila with Echinacea/raspberry tea

What dt forum member do you miss – they rarely post here anymore
What dt forum member would you like to see go away – none. I like complaining, if all the annoying people left there would be nothing to complain about.
What dt forum member would you like to hook up with – I’m confused, I thought “hooking up” meant having sex or getting together romantically, but rahvin listed Qsilver and me so surely not? In that case, if it means “meeting for tea” then rahvin, Qsilver, and FourthHorseman.
