Major thanks goes out to a fan called Jeremiah (giving credit where credit is due ;).

This site has got a lot of track info for every episode of all 3 seasons that exist at the moment.

Updated everything from the site (also linked it in the sidebar) incl updates to the stuff I already had. I'll check the HBO forums and will update any and all info given to me (usefull info of course ;) )

Favourites

'Normal music'
It's VERY hard for me to take a #1 so I'll make a list of cd's I like without things having to be in a particular order.

Nas - Illmatic (good oldskool rap)

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (hard music :D)

Manau - Panique Celtique (French band: most people only know La tribu de dana. but I like all their songs).

Nirvana - Nevermind (probably will still be listening when I'm 80)

Eminem - Slim Shady LP (funny and still raw)

Spinvis - Smalfilm (you'd probably have to know Dutch to find it attactive..very very weird lyrics in a poetic way on a sound of whatever sound the guy could find).

Dr Dre - The Chronic 2001 (still Dre. Great tracks, funny and sometimes disturbing skits..don't turn up the volume right before Pauze 4 Porn or your mother/gf or other people will give you a strange look ;) )

Live - The distance to here (Have seen Live, Live and they ROCK!)

Silverchair - Frogstomp (emo-rock..sue me! But also a bit harder now and then)

Evanescence - Fallen (hard gothic-ish rock..I like it.

Just 2 other bands that I just MUST mention: Corvus Corax, Within Temptation.

So that would be my 10 normal favourites although I could spam on.
Oldies that I like: Dire Straits (can't remember their cd title), Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marly, Kate Bush, Simon & Garfunkel, The Dubliners (sue me again) etc.
