The Grand Survey Of Music

[Steeltemplar]

Inspired by boredom and seeing recent threads about favorite genres and whatnot, I have decided to post Ye Ultimate Music Survey. Fill it out as best you can and just put in "n/a" where you have no opinion.

This survey is for who you think is the best, not necessarily favorites (though they often coincide). Please be as opinionated as you wish and respect everyone elses opinions! Discussion is great, just keep it friendly.
