What else do Orb list members listen to?
Last Updated - November 25, 1998Early in November, 1998, a list member asked the group to list their top 10 artists besides the Orb. Two weeks and 53 posts later, these responses were compiled and are presented here. Since compiling the results was something that occurred to me during the postings, and everyone seemed to deviate slightly from the initial request, 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.
