After having given it a quick look I think the top artists chart on last.fm might very well be the funniest thing ever (today)

Still it surprises me the absolute lack of pop and generally good artists on those lists - when I look at my dashboard and see what my friends and 'weekly neighbours' are listening to, I see loads of it. There can't really be that many people listening to Incubus every week, surely? Surely? What does make people care about the Red Hot Chilli Peppers? What? What is going on in THEIR MINDS

Anyway - I've liked some of those at some point in my life, but most on a strict 'just this one album' level. I decided to tick the ones I have listened to (and probably liked) more than one album by. I might go back later when no one is looking anymore and tick FOB because as embarrassed as I might be about it, their album has been on for three days non-stop and I am still not fed-up. GOD I DON'T KNOW I JUST, I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO STOP PLAYING IT THERE YOU GO :( :(

There is no shame in ticking Fall Out Boy. They are the most poptimist-compatible band on the list after The Beatles and Queen.

Hee! I remembered after about 2 seconds of posting my comment that I don't even do the 'being embarrassed' thing anyway.

personally I think everyone who doesn't tick FOB should be embarassed!

I kind of wish I'd listened to it sooner, I've definitely been missing out

I really don't know which of your comments to respond to with buy more albums, it gets better. They were who I had in mind when I talked about the larger output making for the higher listening scores, FOB easily lead the field in my charts just because they've released three excellent albums.
