Like apsham I went with a gut feeling on this list, probably reflects what I am really enjoying at the moment. Perhaps the list itself will change over the coming week, I am not sure but at least I put my vote in. Honorable mentions; Mew, Dave Brubeck, Sunn O))), Gorguts, Melvins, The Velvet Underground and Peter Gabriel.

I also hope its fine what I did with Devin Townsend, otherwise the first four spots would've been his solo stuff, DTB, DTP and Strapping Young Lad.

Like people have said above, it's mostly what I'm into at the moment, but the top 9 or so will always be consistent around their spot.

15. MadHatter

It's mostly what I'm into, but I also based it on last.fm play count. I chose to put Amanda Palmer in the list instead of the Dresden Dolls because I like her solo work more. MadHatter is there because he was basically my gateway into nerdcore hip-hop.
