Geir: Name the top ten heavy metal albums of all time, please.Depends on your definition, but if you count Van Halen, Def Leppard, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppeling and Deep Pruple as heavy metal, it would be fairly easy :)

what are your favorite US/UK hit songs of the past 3 (or so) years? in your opinion, is the chartpop of 2010-2015 better or worse than the chartpop of 2005-2009?
The last first, I probably prefer 2005-2009 chartpop. Preferring electropop to that annoying put-your-hands-in-the-air-EDM
Been checking out chartpop way too little the past years, except noticing very much all that Avicii etc. stuff. The easy option would be "Where Are We Now?" by Bowie which was very, very, very good and also became a hit of sorts, but I guess picking old Bowie would almost be cheating. :)That Daft Punk song is of course hard not to like, Lorde's "Royals" is sort of sticking. I always like whatever Coldplay put out, but they were still better in the 00s. Stretching it back to 2012 would also include Adele's "Skyfall". But kinda hard.
Would have been easier had "Flying in the Face of Love" by Neil Finn or "The Best Jewel Thief in the World" by Prefab Sprout had been chart hits. Which of course they weren't. :P
Obviously not the most famous Norwegian ones. The Nico & Vinz one was OK, I guess, but Kygo is quite annoying.
<i>are there a lot of 9/11 truthers in Norway?</i>
Probably not, but they are on the Net 24/7 discussing on Facebook whenever they are not "studiying" watching 4 hour-long home made videos on YouTube which "prove" Queen Elizabeth is secrectly a Jewish Catholic alien reptile from Naboo's Freemason society. Annoying people.
<i>Geir, why don't you like the more avant-garde end of prog like King Crimson, Van der Graaf Generator and Henry Cow?</i>
Too dissonant, you know.
Geir Do you think this band would interest you?
<i>Swedish band Ginger Trees is influenced by Porcupine Tree to Uriah Heep, Kula Shaker and Pink Floyd. Great melodies, especially in the vocals</i>
Could be. I largely use the "related acts" feature on Spotify to discover new music these days.
<i>geir you're in a large courtyard. to your left is a castle surrounded by a moat. a path leads north towards mountains. a fountain in the centre of the courtyard contains a skeleton. what do you do?</i>
Kill the goblin
<i>Geir, which part of "Good Vibrations" do you prefer: choruses or verses?</i>
Chorus and bridge.
<i>Geir, have you seen this movie?:</i>
No. Probably horrible like all movies directed by Wam & Vennerød. :P
<i>Geir, what is the earliest song or album that you would classify as Britpop?</i>
Probably the La's, give that The Stone Roses were really not, not entirely.
As for earliest proto-Britpop song, "Please Please Me"

do conspiracy theorists in norway have any theories related to anders breivik?
― Rainham area Rilke (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 13 October 2015 00:27 (eight years ago) link
There are a few who tend to believe that Mossad was behind. One needs to be an extreme mentalist to actually blame the Labour Party, but there are a few crackpost there as well.
Those people who believe there was no camp at all I think don't exist at all in Norway. I know they exist in the US (I mean, I used to spend every summer at that exact camp for the entire 90s)

Hi Geir—
What is your favorite Curtis Mayfield song?
― austinato (Austin), Tuesday, 13 October 2015 00:42 (eight years ago) link
I probably don't really know more than, say, 3-4. :) Out of those, probably "Move on Up", but I mean... Not my thing. :)

geir, do you have any thoughts about progressive rock finally getting its own chart?
