  7. The White Stripes
  8. Tom Waits

I'm actually surprsed that Radiohead isn't sitting at the top of the list. If last.fm has proved anything, it's that people who use last.fm sure like Radiohead. Almost every group ends up with Radiohead at the top of their charts. Of course, I like Radiohead too, so I'm not really saying it's bad or anything.

Let's see what else is here...

Blonde Redhead show up with reasonably high. I always thought they were not my thing until I heard their latest, 23, this year. Excellent album.

Why aren't more of you listening to Burial?

Hall & Oates, eh?

Finally, very last thing on the list is something called "Those Darn Accordians." No idea what that is.

How do the group charts work?
Once a group has 10 or more members, you'll find that your group will start to have a chart generated. The way that these charts work is that every "1" will represent a group member.

For example, say you have 3 people in your group listen to Radiohead that week, the chart will be 3, and not the number of times that the three of them listened to Radiohead. This helps prevent the skewing of charts by a single group member who leaves a single artist or album on repeat for extended periods of time.

i bet people aren't listening to burial because they never attempted it in headphones, relying on shitty computer speakers to play the previews and ruining all the sub-base little watery nuances.

Burial: I never bought the first album because it wasn't as interesting as the stuff on Tectonics.

Well, it didn't take long to experience "the Radiohead effect." Not surprising, really.

Some interesting artists I saw lower down in the list:
Gogol Bordello - I'm totally unfamiliar with them, but they look just crazy!
Apoptygma Berzerk - Another one I don't know anything about, but it's apparently some kind of synthrock outfit.
Wire - I've been on a bit of Wire kick myself lately, so I'm glad to see some other folks around here are enjoying them too. Some of the early albums are just brilliant.
