Even if Dodens isn't the most diverse music listener, I think the other people on this poll listen to some absolute trash, so I'd never vote for them.
 
For anyone who doesn't already know what I listen to, you can just click the links in my signature.

Scweet. You have some decent stuff on there. All metal though. While your taste in metal is solid I don't know much of what you listen outside metal however; & I'm not a fan of punk.


I made a list of stuff I "actively" listen to & posted it on my MySpace. I like much more than just this, but these are bands/artists that I am more familiar with than just listening to in passing. These are artists I respect & at least own one album by, be it through download or not.

I own a lot of downloaded MP3's, too. :lol:



By the way, your list looks like a really vain and overlong attempt to appear diverse and special.

Yes indeed; I am very diverse & even more special. It's a simple list of some of the stuff I've accumulated. I own a ton of CDs & music DVDs, but I also enjoy a fair bit of dark ambient, electronica, Medieval folk, & Middle-Eastern music. All you listen to is black metal & other brutal shit, so of course I'm very diverse when compared to you. Now, excuse me while I sip on my medicinal tea & bask in the glory of my special diverseness ;)

Actually, it's a good list; had I come to think of it earlier, I would've nominated you.

Do you go to places by boat? I hear the tourists are crazy this time of year...



:D
 
Don't vote for me you fruitcake, I want to be in last place. I'm still shocked I got 1 nomination let alone made it onto the poll. What the fuck is the world coming to?
:lol:
As if you hadn't figured it out yourself, everything I said, other than the watermelons part( don't like 'em), was in jest.
It's an obsolete category I wasn't planning to vote in anyway.
