This Journal will be redone once I have listened to enough music such that Quiet World have dropped out of my top 10. If Quiet World have dropped out of my top 10 and I haven't redone this Journal, then remind me, please :). The reason for this being that Quiet World got a play count of 265 unfairly when compared to the rest of the artists in question.

Van der Graaf Generator. Trisector.
34. What is the worst song by 45?
Jimi Hendrix! I could have fun with this... If truth be told, I don't really know. What I do know is that he's the most voerrated guitarist of all time and whilst his music is good, it's not amazing and for that reason it all irritates me.

Tony Banks. To be honest, not his solo stuff. Something of his older work with Genesis. Like
46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy?
The Who. No, there isn't. I hate them with a passion. And the only reason I'm saying that is bacause the only person who reads this will be Dan and he'll know I'm only saying it to piss him off. But, back to the question, yes.

Interesting answers to a very shitty questionnaire. If you can start making interesting comments without the need for crappy prompt-questions, then future journals will be much better.
Oh, and you succeeded in pissing me off with the Who comment. Not so much the Genesis one, though, because I know how highly you rate Mad Man Moon. -
