Well, that's 11...meh..
 
No offense, dude, but...NIRVANA? I dig Radiohead, I can understand Tool, I have no clue who the fuck Skinny Puppy Are, and even Nine Inch Nails makes a little sense. But it boggles the mind how you can consider Nirvana and Nevermore to be on the same plane of musical existence. Not that you don't have a right to like them...I'm just curious why.
