Ranked in order (or attempted to). My top artists based only on best:
1 song: April March, Metallica, Plasmatics, Killing Joke, Saint Vitus
3 songs: Metallica, The Runaways, Black Sabbath, Danzig, Budgie
1 album: Metallica, Danzig, Anti-Nowhere League, Black Sabbath, Sticky Filth
3 albums: Metallica, Danzig, Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Budgie
My 5 albums list would be the same as for 3 albums. Interestingly Megadeth & Budgie are matched album for album in my ratings, until Budgie runs out of albums and Megadeth indisputably loses for making another 5 turds.

5 most played artists in my Last.fm chart that aren't in RateYourMusic:
1. Nefarious (NZ punk band)
2. Bloopmongler (my own noise project, album started in 2009 is about 75% done
)
3. Necrolatry (NZ solo bedroom death metal project)
4. The Stungrenades (NZ punk band)
5. Foamy Ed (NZ punk band)
The world's punk bands don't get documented quite so thoroughly as its metal bands ...thanks to Encyclopaedia Metallum and the OCD of metal fans. I add a few missing artists here and there but the pile will always be endless.

Top 5 EP's this year......so far 
.......and an honorable mention to Reavers, EP is a massive improvement over their early album i think. Plus bonus points for the Spawn theme.
Probably forgetting or overlooking something, but whatever.

3½ years later I've just seen my 200th in Wellington. Almost got there before moving back to Auckland 9 months ago, and then somehow there were another 5 to go to in one visit. Yes, I'm counting Porirua separately even though it's attached to Wellington like a mole.
775 ... Auckland, NZ
200 ... Wellington, NZ
24 ... Melbourne, AU
17 ... Hamilton, NZ
11 ... Porirua, NZ

5 films I think we had to study in high school:
Dead Poets Society
Edward Scissorhands
Schindler's List
Speed
The Truman Show
It's such a weird way to watch a movie. Felt sorta like being mentally challenged/suffering from dementia and having someone pause at the end of every scene to discuss the insignificant details with you rather than just the plot. Especially if you were away sick for a few days or the class ran out of time and fast forwarded parts.
I've applied varying degrees of my attention to 3 of them since. No interest in Dead Poets Society, but I should really watch Speed normally.

I can't remember ever saying something that idiotic
I mean, it's a notch below 'sun but that "tombs of epic hidden dynasties..." section is one of the most spine-tingling moments of the year

I thought I'd done a metal songs list already, but I guess I tried at some point and just gave up.
Anyways "Everlasting Spiral" by Coffins is still my favourite metal song of the year and I don't really see that changing.
Unsemblance - Insensate Lucidity (Austrian death metal with an avant-garde streak)
Dominion - Evil Control (Primitive and relatively unique USDM)
Father Befouled - Immaculate Pain (They've never sounded fresher or faster)
