What else do Orbital list members listen to?
Last Updated - November 22, 1999In October, 1999, Orbital list members were once again asked to list their top 10 artists besides Orbital. Two weeks and 35 posts later, these responses were compiled and are presented here. As this is the second year, last year's position is listed in parentheses next to the current rank. Since the submissions were inconsistent (some included Orbital in their top 10, some didn't, some listed 12 or 20, etc.), I had to adopt some calculations to make sure that each post was weighted fairly. If you're at all interested in how the posts were compiled, click here.
Enjoy.
