What was the first song you ever heard by 6?

"Forget About Me" - not the best song on the album by any means, but very sweet and touching.

What is your favorite album by 2?

"The Answers" hands down. They're all good, but that one has "For My Brother" on it, and that's my favourite song ever in the world.

What is your favorite lyric that 1 has sung?

I'll take my fingertips on a trip of your body
with nothing other than my lips to guide me
we'll lay around and we'll play all afternoon
oh one more entry for your journal baby
you've met a boy and you're making him crazy too
and after all those things I told myself to forget
and to make it through
I'll remember you
Yeah I'll remember you

How many times have you seen 11 live?

Once. They came to Vancouver a couple of years ago after they released "Jack in a Box"

She blew me away with her version of "I Who Have Nothing" on Idol.

Writing a story I was particularly pleased with, while listening to "Three Hits"

I'll Run Away - always strikes me as a sad little song.

What is your favorite lyric that 14 has sung?

Spin the Wheel

It's a difficult choice to make
It's a dangerous chance to take
And with every touch you stake
Comes a radical new
Awakening to everything
You thought you'd never taste

Spin the wheel
Turn your love around
Get down
Down on your knees
And show me that you're not afraid to lose
Cold cold steel
Melts into the ground
At the sound
Of you begging please
You're telling me you're ready to choose

It's a dangerous game to play
And a terrible thing to say
That this beautiful thing can stay
That it's destined to die and
Fade away like yesterday
A moment gone to waste

Ooh, take a picture of this
As you lay in your bed
Making a list
Of the cruel things you said
To scare your love away

What is your favorite song by 19?

Early Morning Blues and Greens. I'm not ashamed! Shut Up!

That's hard, but I think that it has to be "The Story."

He sings on a lot of Bollywood soundtracks, and I love watching those things even though I don't have a clue what they're saying.

Is there a song by 23 that makes you sad?

Much of his stuff makes me feel melancholy. I think "Dragnets Drag" has the most effect on me.

What is your favorite album of 15?

"Faith" - I love every last song on that album.

What is your favorite lyric that 9 has sung?

Damn! Can't decide between "Silver Lining" and "The One I love." David Gray twists the gut with most of his lyrics.
Gonna close my eyes
Girl and watch you go
Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow
As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
'cross the falling dark

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love

Perfect summers night
Not a wind that breathes
Just the bullets whispering gentle
'mongst the new green leaves
There's things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I'm leaking life faster
Then I'm leaking blood

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love

Don't see Elysium
Don't see no fiery hell
Just the lights up bright baby
In the bay hotel
Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar
Won't you take my hand darling
On that old dancefloor

We can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love
