Honorable Mention
A list of users who kick major amounts of ass and have great taste. A response to rabbit's ever-so-predictable list where he listed ten users with the baste taste on sputnik, according to him. Also he admitted to not being able to recognize the differences between black and death metal. |

Plaguebearer
Kount: Now I know what you're thinking. In the forefront of your mind you're most wondering why the man behind an overwhelming amount of sputnik's older trolls would be on this list, but let me assure you that if you give him the chance to partake with you in rational conversation, he's actually a pretty cool guy. Funny at times and able to recognize the brilliance of lo-fi black metal and punk, ambient and industrial noise, he's one of the users who's truly immersed himself in the entire realm of "underground," and his tastes are refined beyond considerable belief. |
| 2 |  | Maurizio Bianchi
Mectpyo Blut
Meatplow: Again, a user who seems to adore the concepts of harsh industrialism and the wide range of emotions expressed from the "noise" umbrella. As well his tastes in ambient, soul and black metal are refined for the most part. On an unrelated note, he's a generally pleasant guy to talk with, and him and I plan to complete a lo-fi electronic split (more specifically, shoegaze, ambient, drone and noise) which documents the modern decadence in a way that can be seen as a further offshoot of Bianchi's collective works. |
| 3 |  | Joanna Newsom
Ys
Lucidity: I never talk to this guy but his private life has always intrigued me, as he's admitted to being Bahranian (culture shock I guess) and he's hinted at being gay (which would be even more exciting because of his geographical location's general perception of homosexuals. On a social level he's an entertaining soul and his taste is spot on. One of those who's fived Ys and calls "Only Skin" one of his favorite songs. |
| 4 |  | Orchid
Chaos Is Me
Witchxrapist: Three points to make: 1.) Interesting taste in music - refined in emo and hints at success with his forays into metal. 2.) I mean, oh wait. I should be saying her, as he pretends to be a transexual art slut named Mellany whenever possible. 3.) Made split with me. Eno enjoyed thoroughly. |
| 5 |  | Mesa Verde
The Old Road
SlightlyEpic: Great conversation starter with one of the most in-depth evaluations of the emo scene as a whole. Enjoys tons of noisy black metal, too, which is always fine by me. |
| 6 |  | Unwound
Leaves Turn Inside You
Chambered89: Phenomenal taste in black metal and emo music but I intend to branch him out in the worlds of ambient and noise because he liked my split enough to want to produce one with me so yeah pretty B.A. user right here. |
| 7 |  | The Wrens
Meadowlands
AggravatedYeti: Fellow RRR writer, indie knowledge ahoy, pretty sardonic, witty, fun, sociable, intelligent. |
| 8 |  | The Magnetic Fields
Realism
Robin Smith: His adoration of puns and quips fascinates me. |
| 9 |  | William Basinski
The Disintegration Loops I
Dice Man: He likes this album on a level very close to the way I adore it so he kinda slips right in here. |
| 10 |  | Burzum
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Crysis: A user with an extremely refined taste, superb objectivity and a knack for descriptions. Knows how to spot bullshit in music and is, generally, a nice guy around the table. |
| 11 |  | Burial
Untrue
Deviant.: Um it's Deviant. |
| 12 |  | Immolation
Close to a World Below
Dryden: I would tell you about Dryden but then I'd have to kill you because he'd kill me with ultra-black metal if there was a living soul other than I who knew. |
| 13 |  | Addaura
Addaura
TheSpirit: Ex-bro. |
| 14 |  | Chicago Underground Duo
Boca Negra
thebhoy: He is just so fucking jazzy it hurts. |
