What else do Orbital list members listen to?
Last Updated - March 12, 2001
In February, 2001 (a bit late this year - sorry), Orbital list members were once again asked to list their top 10 artists besides Orbital. Two weeks and 21 posts later, these responses were compiled and are presented here. As this is the third year, the 1998 and 1999 positions are 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.
