Here is how to interpret your score (thanks fandango)
1-13: Either you are the lovechild of Bernard Fanning and Rikki Lee Coulter or you are actually in The Kings of Leon.Bawley scored:
14-27: Betcha listen to 104.7 when no-one's around.
28-40: Very vanilla
41-52: "Middle of the Hill" is your signature song in more ways than one.
53-65: Pretty pedestrian, but you probably have one weirdo friend who is rubbing off on you more than you realise.
66-77: Kinda quirky in a cute way.
78-89: Kinda quirky in a "slowly back away..." way.
90-100: You're a f***ing freak, man
101: Did you vote for songs, or flavours of ice cream????

OK here's my list:

Bon Iver - Skinny Love (21)
Sparkadia - Kiss of Death (101)
British Sea Power - Waving Flags (101)
Band of Horses - Noone's Gonna Love You (72)
The National - Fake Empire (101)
PNAU - Embrace (12)
MGMT - Kids (5)
Santogold - LES Artistes (57)
Death Cab for Cutie: I Will Possess Your Heart (36)
So my score comes out at 60.7: 'pretty pedestrian with one weirdo friend...'. Seems I have become more mainstream since last year when I was 'kinda quirky'!
Though in my defence - I voted in a hurry and mostly just picked songs from the Bawley 100, and the songs I came up with myself got the least pedestrian rankings, it was my hurried choices from the Bawley list that brought me closer to the Average Joe!
Grates - 34
Vampire Weekend - 32
Death Cab For Cutie - 36
Drapht - Jimmy Recard - 10
All the rest got 101, so 71.8 is my average, im quirky and cute!
My voting rules were: songs have to be on th Triple J longlist (no typing entries in) and one song per artist:
British Sea Power, Waving Flags 101
Elbow, Grounds For Divorce, 101
Bloc Party, Talons, 101
MGMT, Time To Pretend, 18
Bon Iver, Skinny Love, 21
Fleet Foxes, White Winter Hymnal,65
The Rapture, No Sex For Ben, 14
TVOTR, Dancing Choose, 101
Nick Cave, Lie Down Here.. 101
Vampire Weekend, A-Punk, 32
= 65.5, somewhere between pretty pedestrian and kinda quirky. Much more mainstream than last year- it seems I've been indoctrinated by Triple J!
ps, great to see I wasn't the only person in the world who voted for British Sea Power! :)
White Rabbits - The Plot #101
Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris - Dance With Me #17
Elbow - Grounds for Divorce #101
The Verve - Love is Noise #101

If I did it right, 78.6 = back away slowly. Lots on ur Bawley100 I don't know. I need to hear some Sparkadia!
Nice one Grz 78.6 is the correct score. :)
You should check out Sparkadia, their whole album was on triplej high rotation at the start of the year - good times.
