Ok I've tried to make a list now. But I find it really hard to list favourite music by BAND as of course, bands change so much over time, and this list doesn't always mean I like everything by a band, in fact in some cases I may just like a single album or something. But if I try and list albums this would go on forever (I tried!). So these have all been bands that have done something that's been my favourite thing at one point or another. :)

Here's some extra Vic & Bob goodness that are just too funny not to post. ;)
Books
I don't really read much these days. ^_^ Stuff I used to love: Lord of the Rings, Neuromancer, Drachenfels, Gundam novels.
Hmm, now as this section is a bit useless for me, let's instead use it to list my favourite Video Games of all time. :P

About me: Unless I already know you/met you, please message me first before adding me, or I probably won't respond, thanks! ^_^;; Don't mean to be a git, but I do want my friends list to be actual friends (well and bands, clubs etc) or it'll be a bit meaningless.
<- This is me, over there.
This page is about me, but stuff like the quizzes were mostly taken ages ago could well be out of date with my current state of mind... will update them soon
<-- Somewhere down the side there is some of the things I like and do! That kinda tells you a fair bit about me, although I'm sure it misses out some very important stuff. If you look at my Friends list you can figure out more about me, and what I like and some bands I like etc (there is way too many to start listing them).
I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve & I am often too honest or too open for my own good. Depending on how I am feeling I can either be ridiculously laid back or extremely passionate, or even extremely moody. My openess, love and passions can leave me horribly vunerable, but I don't really think I could live any other way.
I used to think I was shy, but I've even been called outgoing these days. Who would've thought?
I'm a a goth I suppose, but I'm not really a classic or trad goth at all.
I'm probably too open minded for my own good. I don't think many things are intrinsically wrong, but I value honesty rather a lot. But you've got to be honest with yourself first!
I tend to react with resistance against things like peer-group pressure. I don't tend to have much in the way of 'beliefs' & even vocations other than those which I conjure for myself. I believe I'm still discovering myself and what I really believe, but I don't think any one source has all the answers.
I can be horribly vain, yet I also don't give a **** what I look like some of the time. I'm a bit of a weekender goth in a way.. I'd prefer to dress up more, but it would just cause too much hassle for me!
Your turn on is handcuffs and chains. You like being cuffed/chained to the bed, or cuffing/chaining your partner down. You love the pure ectasy of being in complete control... or letting someone else have complete control over you. Sex isn't sex without control.
Bondage
100%
Chains/Handcuffs
100%
Blind Folds
67%
Whips
50%
Biting
42%
Blood
0%
Ok, it's ridiculous, but out of the options I have to say I would actually agree with this quiz result more than most!
You scored as Rupert Giles, You're very wise. Though you've only recently begun thinking about yourself, you're always there to help. Everyone around you holds you in high regard. You've always pulled through.
Pure Geek
(39 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 17% Dork)
For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Geek, earning you the title of: Pure Geek. It's not that you're a school junkie, like the nerd, and you don't really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that aren't quite mainstream. Perhaps it's anime, perhaps it's computers, perhaps it's bottlecaps, perhaps it's all of those and more. Your interests take you to events and gatherings that are filled with people you find unusual and beyond-the-pale, but you don't quite consider yourself "of that crowd." Instead, you consider yourself to be fairly normal. Which, you are. Congratulations!
Hmmm.. this kind of annoys me. I'm no Angel! Bah. *grumbles* I'm sure I'm far too selfish for this..
You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.
You scored as midori. sweet and eaisly taken, you are midori. you love to have fun with your close friends and although you look pretty harmless, you can cause damage if you want to!
Er.. not sure this is true result below either. Bit embarrassing really, but I hope its not completely innaccurate at least! :D
You scored as Pink. Your heart is pink. You're everyone's friend. Woo go you! Everyone loooves you!! You're the definition of a true friend, which is why you mean so much to your friends. You will do anything to see your friends smile, you have a great quality- don't change for anybody.
You're a fallen angel. There's some innocence there, but the sexual dark side has called you and, possibly, is already using you. But you're not evil, just naughty; dirty, but not filthy. You're certainly hellbound, and you'll most likely seek out other imps like yourself to work your wicked will. There might be a moral core inside you, but it's been overtaken by lust.
AVOID: the heavenbound. Your path is downward, and you'll need a guide.
Really not sure about this one, especially since it directly contradicts a couple of my answers.. silly darn quiz. :P
And what is it with me and PINK! GAH!!! :P
You scored as Pink. Pink represents the love for youth and this describes you very well. You have never taken life seriously and do not intend to. Instead you want to see where it leads you and just want to go with the flow. You love flirting, having fun and making the most of everything.
Who I'd like to meet: People with some shared interests... Not: spambots, pathetic camgirls, bands that are NOTHING like my taste in music & people who can't even be bothered to message first...
Here's some videos that amuse, impress and entertaining me right now. :)
It shows up one pic, but can't browse any other pics without being a member, so you'd have to end up linking every pic individually ... which would be a hassle. Why not put pics on Myspace too? ;-)
Oh, and I pointed you out a song in Slimes ... it was KiEw - Graograman. Great old school noise, before it all turned into "bang-bang-screech ad infinitum"
