Mikael Akerfeldt's Best Of 2006 list!

[Sandrothecoolman]

To each his own? Hah!

Everybody has to listen to exactly what I like or else they're a fucking tool.

But really, you'll find your favorite bands listening to the strangest things and I always thought that was very cool. I'm sure subconciously these bands are somehow influenced by everything they listen to. Even if it's Christina Agulera.

That doesn't piss me off nearly half as much as the ones who picked themselves or bands they had a hand in. Way to be pretentious.

Not a bad list, if I do say so myself.

bad lists... not a bad list of artists. There are amazing musicians there, but their lists... at least, most of the lists... suck pretty bad.

not necessarily, maybe some of them just wanted to plug their album/band
..and is it so unusual for an artist to consider their work good?

to consider it the best? It's not unusual, but seemingly there are some big egos playing in small bands.

Whose this quote below is?

"I'm sure subconciously these bands are somehow influenced by everything they listen to. Even if it's Christina Agulera."

So you think Turisas is influenced by Christina Aguilera? And The Gathering by Justin Timberlake? Eric Peterson from TESTAMENT by My Chemical Romance?

Come on... they may even like those bands, that's their problem, but getting influenced by them? No way! I'm now wondering how a mix of Testament and MCR would sound like.
