EWB's Top 104 Artists 2013 - Results

[SRN]

Taylor... Swift? Really? Oh well.

Anyways, I love Hank Williams. I love his bluesy country tunes and I love his off-kilter voice. Really sad to see him this low but then again, I didn't vote for himself so I guess I can't really complain. Devin being this low is a tragedy though, a tragedy for EWB, a tragedy for the world and tragedy for every music fan all over the planet.

I don't care at all for Arcade Fire, though.

LOLOL TAYLOR SWIFT WUT

[Your Mom]

I like some Queen and MJ songs. The rest range from hate (Slipknot) to never heard (Portishead, Devin whatever)

[SeanDMan]

Yay Taylor Swift!

[Sousa]

Also everyone voted for Hank Williams and you posted a Hank Williams Jr. song, which is almost an unforgivable mistake.

Hank is very good, Hank III is very good, and Hank Jr. is... well, Hank Jr. is this asshole.

I don't know if you noticed the trend with the other videos that everybody else got. :/

Also I don't like Hank III.

[Sousa]

oh i see what you did there and also you are wrong about hank 3: hank and the last crusade.

[Rich]

I have to query, what is going on with the face of the guy in the Arcade Fire video?

I am not sure if I should be scared, but I can't stop staring!

[Matt]

I hope Metalman is actually asking his dad about these bands.

[gunnar hendershow]

And doing it with 4 at a time, so his dad gets optimum calls.

I couldn't care less about Swift/Williams. Country isn't my bag.

I was the one that voted for Arcade Fire at #2 and I honestly could've put them at #1 so it's great to see them on the list. Like most indie darlings, there's been a bit of backlash against them since they became more popular but I still love their music. I'm (im)patiently waiting to hear their new album.

I liked Devin Townsend a decent amount when I was a lot more into metal so I can appreciate what he brings to the table. That said, it's not my cup of tea these days so I can't say that I'd listen to him extensively.

[gunnar hendershow]

I too used to really love Devin. He's great at what he does, one of the best, but not something I really listen to anymore.

[KONGO]

That's basically why I don't listen to him. I'm sure I've heard a few things but it never really hooked me. I know he's good it's just never what I'm looking for.

[SRN]

He is everyone I look for in a life partner. Everything.

[livid]

He is everyone I look for in a life partner. Everything.

Bald Canadian?

[KONGO]

He is everyone I look for in a life partner. Everything.

You look for Devin Townsend in a life partner? Surely your life partner would be a bit irritated at that. Unless they also like him, I guess.

[Skummy]

I don't really know who Taylor Swift is. I've heard one of her songs. Inoffensive, but not good.

Hank Williams is brilliant, obviously, though not somebody I listen to all that much, even when I'm in the mood for country music. For the record, I like Hank III sometimes. "Ghost To A Ghost" is a great album, and the first time he didn't at least sometimes sound like a petulant brat.

I don't really like The Arcade Fire all that much and never got the hype, but the last album was okay.

Devin Townsend is great. I like people in heavy metal who have an open mind and a sense of humour about what they do, rather than rehashing tired clichés. I don't know everything he's done, and I don't like a lot of what I've heard, but some of his stuff is absolutely brilliant. I have friends who hero worship him, including one girl who has a tattoo of his little logo thing, and did make-up for one of his live shows and stuff, but I've never been that bothered. I think I like him more in theory than I do actually listening to him.

Queen - I bloody love 'Radio Ga Ga' but that's about it. I've never really enjoyed anything from that era of rock music, it's just all a bit shit really.

Michael Jackson - Eh. There's a handful of great songs and dude knew how to make a music video but that's about it. I've never felt the need to listen to MJ, and I never will.

Slipknot - I actually quite like Slipknot, again they're not a band I'd ever go out of my way to listen to and yeah, they're not very good but yeah, I've got a soft spot for them. It's probably more to do with the fact that I don't really like 'metal' all that much and so the whole 'metal for people who don't like metal' thing works for me.

Portishead - They're alright I guess. I think I like the idea of them more than I actually like them. They're a band I always wanted to like a whole lot more than I did, but I could never really get too much into them.

Taylor Swift - Oh she's very, very pretty. I couldn't name you a single song but yeah, she's lovely to look at.

Hank Williams - I don't think I've ever actually listened to him. I doubt I'd appreciate him.

Arcade Fire - Did I vote for Arcade Fire? I should've done, they're ruddy fantastic and I ruddy love them. All three albums have been beautiful and I'm ridiculously excited for the new one.

Devin Townsend - I've tried a few times to get into him but I've never really managed it. I do quite like the few Strapping Young Lad songs I've heard though. Not really my scene, as it were but it's great for what it is.

[METALMAN]

I don't like Taylor Swift because she tried to steal Cher Lloyd's song >_>. She does seem to have a bit of a nasty and petty sense of humour which is faintly amusing, but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to her.

Hank Williams is incredible. I don't like his offspring but Hank himself is fantastic. I voted for him.

I thoroughly enjoyed Arcade Fire's first album, but their other two are a bit hit and miss. Their earnestness can get a bit annoying - I always get a bit frustrated at musicians who take everything so seriously. Still, they remain one of the best live acts I've ever seen.

I barely know Devin Townsend. I've ever knowingly listened to one song. It was okay.

[=BK=]

I some how skipped over Taylor Swift. I like a few of her songs. Not quite sure how some haven't heard her. She's all over the radio and TV.
