1999 - What else do Orb list members listen to?
Last Updated - November 14, 1999In October, 1999, Orb list members were once again asked to list their top 10 artists besides the Orb. Two weeks and 55 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 in Orb in their top 10, some didn't, some listed 12 or 13, 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.
