Thanks Blir! IRRC last time I was one notch off of the average, right next to Otters. Lately I've been listening to a lot of the Clash and GoF so I think that replaced a lot of synth stuff off my list, altering my result. Either way, I'm pleased to be in such great company.

Great job Blir! I love this DNA arrays/taxonomic tree-looking charts.

There was something about Opera Prima's selections however that made her more similar to the rest of the poll than last time, though still in a fairly unique cluster.

I guess if that's because among my first 15 picks most of the bands and songs have been chosen by the majority of the participants. Also, most of my "rarest" picks weren't among the top 50, so they haven't been taken into account.
So I suppose I can't consider myself among the elite any more... [:p][:D]

Oops..."her". Sorry. I guess it's not Opera Primo after all.

Ha, ha [:D]. No problem Blir! [:)] Enough you took the time to make all the parsing and the chart... you don't have to know every NWO member's gender.

I have a personal interest in my cluster with SwampThing, Cubby, Manekineko and Club80. Besides it looking like fine comapny, I know at least three of them enjoy British Sea Power - I bet Club80 and Manekineko might as well.
That's king of interesting. I DO have the Decline Of British Sea Power CD and I Do like it. Interesting band. You can hear that they were influenced somewhat by punk yet their songs are not punk. Many of them fit into the powerpop category though. The vocalist ocaasionally sounded like Richard Butler (infrequently but I saw similarities). I haven't listened to it in a bit but I remember at least one of their songs reminding me of Soul Asylum.

Awesome as always Blir![8D]
What the hell am I doing hanging out in the B tree?[:0] My tastes must be diverging because I recall a time when I was in the same cluster as you and Swampthing!

I specifically noticed that. I guess it's hard to hang around this diverse group and not have our tastes tweaked a little here and there. Plus with so little similarity, a few changes can have a big impact. It's not as if we're voting on the entire list of 2000 songs that make up the matrix (you should see that pivot table!). The matrix is only based on 50 of those 2000 songs for any one of us. It's amazing that we even have the overlaps that we do.
BTW, lemme know if anyone wants these master tables to play with. Drop me an email thru my profile.

I thought I'd gone more mainstream this time but ended up further from the group. I guess everyone else is getting less mainstream.

Thanks Blir! It's very cool!
I always think it's so weird that I end up in the B group because I have pretty mainstream tastes. It's gotta be picking different tracks than others.
