121...
Meh, that's pretty much what I was expecting. My top 20 is still a little polluted from all the pop punk from last spring when that was pretty much the only thing I listened to. Now I don't really listen to it at all.
Also, I must say, I can't really believe that I don't like Three Days Grace after how many times it popped up on there.

Name your top 10 most played bands on Last.fm:

1. All Time Low
2. Relient K
3. Death Cab for Cutie
4. Every Avenue
5. The Maine
6. Cobra Starship
7. Mayday Parade
8. The All-American Rejects
9. Plain White T's
10. Ludo

What was the first song you ever heard by 6 (Cobra Starship)
Smile For The Paparazzi

What is your favourite album by 2 (2. Relient K)?
Right now, I'd say either Two Lefts Don't Make a Right... But Three Do or Forget And Not Slow Down.

What is your favourite lyric that 4 (Every Avenue) has sung?
I watched the sun come up over the Chicago skyline, drove through the whole night just to make it right

Saying Goodbye

How many times have you seen 5 (The Mainer) live?
3. No, 4. I usually forget to count Warped Tour.

What is your favorite song by 7 (Mayday Parade)?
Miserable At Best

What is a good memory you have involving the music of 10 (Ludo)?
Quite a few. One would be driving around belting out Go Getter Greg with my friends after my friend got a text from a creepy guy named Greg.

Is there a song of 3 Death Cab for Cutie) that makes you sad?
Quite a few. Right now I'll say Death Of An Interior Decorator for starters. And No Sunlight, because it reminds me of getting rear ended.

What is your favorite lyric that 2 (Relient K) has sung?
We should get jerseys, cuz we make a good team, but yours would look better than mine 'cause you're out of my league

What is your favorite song by 9 (Plain White T's)?
Our Time Now

How did you get into 3 (Death Cab for Cutie)?
Someone in my 7th grade social studies class told me about them, I downloaded a couple songs, and fell in love. Then my friend's mom bought Transatlanticism and tickets to see them at an outdoor concert for pretty cheap, and it was the beginning of wonderfulness.

What was the first song you heard by 1 All Time Low)?
Probably Dear Maria, Count Me In

What is your favorite song by 4 (Every Avenue)?
A Story To Tell Your Friends

How many times have you seen 9 live (Plain White T's)?
3. Once in the rain. And it was outdoors. That was fun! Really. And then when I saw them the following week, they insulted the crowd from the week before, so that was mean. And then when I saw them 10 months after them, I called them out on insulting Chicago in Milwaukee, and later on, they singled out my cousin from the crowd. So I guess that made up for it.

What is a good memory you have involving 2 (Relient K)?
Must Have Done Something Right will forever make me think of Math Team at state my senior year.

Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad (The All-American Rejects)?
Sunshine or One More Sad Song (because of memories)

What is your favorite album of 5 (The Maine)?
There's only one full-length to choose from, and 3 EPs. I'm gonna go with Can't Stop Won't Stop.

What is your favorite lyric that 3 ( Death Cab for Cutie) has sung?
"they tenderly kissed then cut the cake
the bride then tripped and broke the vase
the one you thought would span the years
so perfectly placed below the mirror
arriving late you clean the debris
and walked into the angry scene"
Death of an Interior Decorator

What is your favorite song of 1 (All Time Low)?
Weightless
What is your favorite song of 10 (Ludo)?
Go-Getter Greg or Love Me Dead

How many times have you seen 8 ( The All-American Rejects) live?
Twice. I'm remembering to count Warped! Barricade led to bad hip bruises the second time though. Both time were within a few weeks of each other too.

What is your favorite album of 1 (All Time Low)?
Um. This is hard. I guess I'll go withSo Wrong, It's Right. No, wait. Put Up Or Shut Up. I listen to it more, and I guess as a whole like it better.

What is a great memory you have considering 9 (Plain White T's)?
When they had my cousin sing the "Oh oh oh oh"s at their concert.

What was the first song you heard by 8 (The All-American Rejects)?
Swing, Swing

What is your favorite cover by 2 (Relient K)?
I think I've only heard them cover Christmas songs. But my roommate saw them six weeks ago, and they played Under The Sea.
