I like this little games, and I love lists. It makes me reflect around the music I like in new ways and remind me of the things we used to write about favourite hunks, movies and horses when I was a kid. I found this questioner in an old post from 2008 and wanted to do it again, just to see how much had changed. Here is the original post. It seams like a perfect little Easter quiz for me.
Yes, I know it's kind of childish but I love these things. Makes me reflect on my relationship with music, and is exciting at the same time to see what combinations that turn up.
1. What's your favourite song by 15?
Keane
Hamburg is an amazing song written about Tom by Tim and how he's worried about how he's doing. It's amazing to then again hear Tom sing that. Bedshaped is a good second and an amazing video.
2. How did you get into 20?
U2
I can not really remember a time that I didn't know about U2. But I think I got really into them in 1998 before going to see them in concert on the Pop mart tour. They are one of the constants in music life for me. Seen them twice and would love to again.
3. Who is your favourite member in 1?
(same as in 2008:)
Radiohead
I love them all but Jonny Greenwood often gets a bit underrated and he is just a brilliant musician and songwriter.
4. Whats your favourite lyric bit by 29?
(unknown) so impossible to tell.
5. Have you ever seen 22 live?
Jezebel
My own band, so yepp, about 1000 times ;)

Björk
Debut, Post and Homogenic are all just plain brilliant.

Travis
Yepp, I have a t-shirt. I love it, but it's tiny and almost impossible to wear. From "The invisible band" tour.
8. What is a good memory you have of 7?
(still the same as in 2008:)
R.E.M
Wow... A lot of good memories... Some of love, some of theatre and a lot of growing up.
9. Is there a member of the same age as you in 2?
Elliott Smith
I think I am just about the same age now as when he died. Sad.
10. When did you first get into 8?
Imogen Heap
Vivian, Jørgen and me was watching The late show with David Letterman, when she suddenly turned up and played live there. We wondered "What the hell is that?" and "Wow, that's one cool girl" Turned out, she's brilliant.
11. Who likes 4 along with you?
Phoenix

Blur
That must have been Song 2. But quite quickly after, the whole Blur album.
14. Which song do you not like by 18?

Frank Sinatra
The class! The style! The velvet voice! The feeling! The feel of times gone and lost.
