Top Artists Reviewed or Interviewed on Mystic Sounds in 2011

We at Mystic Sounds decided to put our heads together and come up with a joint list of favorite indie artists that we reviewed or interviewed in 2011. So Andrew compiled his list and I compiled mine.

Andrew’s List

10. Screen Vinyl Image (1 point)
9. Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes (2 points)
8. The Dagons (3 points)
7. Sabrepulse (4 points)
6. Amanda Palmer (5 points)
5. The Flashbulb (6 points)
4. GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES! (7 points)
3. Circle Takes The Square (8 points)
2. Captain Ahab (9 points)

Michael’s List

10. GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES! (1 point)
9. The Flashbulb (2 points)
8. Sabrepulse (3 points)
7. Love and a .38 (4 points)
6. Emilie Autumn (5 points)
5. Hanzelle (6 points)
4. Alexx Calise (7 points)
3. Clairy Browne and the Bangin’ Rackettes (8 points)
2. Florrie (9 points)
1. Stevie Scott (10 points)

You can see that Andrew and I have quite different musical tastes, though there is some overlap in our lists. To give more weight to those artists on whom we both agreed, any artist landing on both our lists earned an additional 5 points.
