Top 5 favorite artists for each respective genre that you listen to?

[Project Blaze]

Ok, I figured I'd post this while I could and was also still thinking about it. I don't mean list every single artist in every single existing genre out there, just the artists in those genres that you listen to the most. And they don't have to be in any order since it's the top 5, but you can if you want to. And you can group similar genres together to make the list more versatile. Guess I should go head and show you what I mean. Here's my list(and ofcourse I like all my my artists/composers equally, so I won't have any order to my lists):


Classical/Easy Listening:
1.)Ludwig van Beethoven
2.)Johann Sebastion Bach
3.)Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
4.)Frédéric Chopin
5.)Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Metal/Rock/Nu Metal:
1.)KoRn
2.)Nine Inch Nails
3.)Kidneythieves
4.)Lamb of God
5.)Mudvayne

Industrial/Industrial Metal:
1.)Powerman 5000
2.)Static-X
3.)Ayria
4.)Chiasm
5.)Neikka RPM

That should just about do it. I grouped those similar genres together mainly so I could save time, but those are my favorite artists. I might add more as they come to mind, but I'm really running out of time.

So, fiddle around with those options as far as making the actual list goes. Whatever works for you. Gotta go now, but I hope you have fun! ^_^

This is too hard for me to do, cuz i'm more into songs than bands. Some bands have songs I love, and songs I hate. Some bands have songs i love, but i only know a few so i can't really consider myself a fan. Some genres I know 1 song by a bunch of bands.
