Explanation
I’m already a certified lover of making long lists, here’s a list of things I’ve been interested in whether it be casual or cursory. Some things I post about less here because I’m still working through them or just don’t feel the need to post about them. Not in order. Also haven’t visited a bunch of them in years… I wonder if they still hold up.
Knowing me, I’m gonna look through a bunch of random website lists and still miss something that was a childhood to teenage staple.
After a while though I got tired so I stopped working on the list.

Oh boy, time for specifics.
In the end, I kinda just listed stuff out again. Mostly just based on my save playlist.
I don’t know how it ended up in alphabetical order.
There’s no way this is all of them. I haven’t heard some of these guys in years but I had saved a lot of songs so I went “the more saved songs means I must’ve liked them or I just saved a playlist with a lot of them in it.”
Under the cut because it would’ve made the page super long otherwise

There are probably artists that are missing such as the Japanese artists that probably didn’t show up and the songs that I listen to through YouTube and not services. Plus all the songs I’ve cobbled over years from anime albums…
The various sources of my eclectic taste involve: various AMVs, memes, tony hawk, anime, city pop playlists, my family, tumblr, and random playlists I’d listen to off YouTube.
Video Game music composers are an interesting thing to mention since a lot of times people kind of look down on video game music for being video game music and it doesn’t help a lot of times services don’t give them the names of Composers. I don’t want to credit sound teams, I want to credit the guys who actually worked on the songs.
