I didnt expect much else.
I find the elitism about something as subjective as music in this thread hilarious. Why do you care if someone listens to something you happen not to like?

it's the same thing as people who game a lot getting annoyed at people who say call of duty x is the best game ever made in all of history. literally the same stereotypes as call of duty kiddies - narrow-minded people who don't actually play many games/listen to much music and trash talk anything but what they think is the best.
it's not that I don't like linkin park and pink floyd and stuff, they're great bands, but the huge majority of people who would put them as their ALL-TIME favorite band are the type of people who trash-talk any other type of music outside of their narrow preferences.
i just hate people who listen to nothing but pink floyd and linkin park and think they're well-versed enough in music to say "kanye west and drake are shit what's happening to music and real lyricism we need tool to make a new album!!!" - and those sorts of people are prevalent on this forum and on the internet in general. when I see so many people answer linkin park as their favorite bands (in a non-ironic way), i laugh a bit because it's a lot like seeing something like call of duty as the best game of all time. it's not that their taste in music is bad or wrong or anything, it's just that they fulfill a stereotype so perfectly that it's laughable.

This response is so boring and so predictable. They're pretty much the default answers for nerdy teenagers on the internet, except Dream Theater is missing. It's not a negative blanket judgment against these bands (I'm one of the people who voted Modest Mouse), but, it's like what Isak said - fulfilling a stereotype that's very much grounded in reality. I just think it would be cool if there had been a much wider range of responses, since there's so much music in the world. That said, the list of artists with one or two votes is surprisingly long.

Also a shitload of people put down elbow in their favorite music, and one guy put down old blues like robert johnson 'n shit. Fuck yeah, y'all gimmie a high five[/QUOTE]
That was me, blues 4 life bro (I forgot to add Muddy tho). I mostly play the blues on guitar cause it sounds so pleasing to me and playing blues feels "right".
Who are the other five GY!BE fans here?

Maybe they're the "default responses" because they're all legitimately good musicians that make good music? (With the exception of Linkin Park but you see what I mean)

I'll be honest.
I was expecting Employed to be more than that.

I'll be honest, I've never heard of Sabaton until now.

It's such a mainstream internet nerd taste in music it's not even funny. It's music for people who don't want to think about music.
I'm curious as to why that's a bad thing.
What artists [I]should [/I]​these "Mainstream internet nerds" be listening to?

That's a really bad attitude to have, you're saying people who don't listen to niche/non-mainstream music just "don't think about music". Wtf.
[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;47157739]It's such a mainstream internet nerd taste in music it's not even funny. It's music for people who don't want to think about music.[/QUOTE]
Id say Daft Punk, Gorillaz and Pink Floyd shows a pretty fucking good taste in music and I dont listen to any of them except Gorillaz.
If you want to talk about "music for people who dont want to think about music" the chart wouldve read: One Direction, Nicki Minaj, Pitbull.

Also the top answer has 23 votes out of 1000 entries. How that shows a default response thats boring and predictable I have no fucking clue.
lol just listen to what you want and dont get all dramatic about it
I mean what did you even expect? Super famous bands ranked high in an online pool, is it really that surprising that you gotta get all mad about it?
And incredible how you can tell these responses fit "exactly in the stereotype" from a fucking online pool

pretty sure that was you
I've only listed Deadmau5 and Aphex Twin and who cares? Nobody.
Stop making it such a big issue.

It's not that you should or shouldn't be listening to x artist. I'm just saying that these are exactly the responses I expected from Facepunch, because a lot of people here (and on the internet in general) tend to shun most pop artists and gravitate toward these ones. They're accessible, well-known, and pretty different from the Iggy Azaleas and Drakes of the music world. Most people aren't going to dedicate tons of time to finding new music, and that's why I don't expect anything different than these results.
The census asked for a favorite waifu, not a smash bros character
maybe next time

Yo, there are plenty of awesome artists who didn't get as much recognition in that list, or any at all.
I only listen to midi dubstep, nerds.

I didn't fill this one out, but I'm glad to know I'm not the only person on Facepunch that listens to XTC, even if it is just 2 other people at the very least.

So you're whining about people voting in like the top ten, but meanwhile you're one of the top ten? What? Also before you ask I'm one of the one vote band people so don't accuse me of defending my nerd music. What's wrong with people listening to whatever they want?

I'm not trying to whine or complain, sorry if it came off that way. If your favorite musical act is one of those top 10, then that's cool and that's your taste. I'm saying that the response is exactly what I expected it to be. It's music that nerdy teenagers on the internet (I am not excluded in that demographic) tend to like a lot. I like Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Modest Mouse, and Death Grips.
All I'm saying is that it would be cool if people here were really into discovering music because it makes for good discussion. Not trying to attack or insult anyone who answered one of those bands, that would be beyond hypocritical.
