It's off topic, but I do love "Keep the Car Running."

Wow! I've met him on a few occassions. Only one time was I able to get in a word edgewise. And every time it was me chasing him like a rabid fan. I can't even imagine what to say if I was able to have a conversation of any length. Keep me posted. As you can tell from some of my other posts, I love hearing about people meeting their heroes.

Thanks for the list. I know the top 10 like the back of my hand, most of 11-20, and after that, it gets a little patchy. The good news is that I now have a new list of albums to obtain in a manner other than purchasing. It's always hard for me to rate Beatles albums. I'm probably not as big of fan of Sgt. Pepper and The White Album as most people. I was happy to see Pet Sounds on the list. It would be a little higher on my list, though.

Being from America, I find the entire idea of "royalty" to be a trip. It blows my mind how much people get into that stuff. That's not a judgment one way or the other; I just find it amazing.

How to Disappear Completely - Radiohead

New Moon On Monday - Duran Duran

Arcade Fire - No Cars Go

10:15 Saturday Night - The Cure

Friday I'm in Love - The Cure

Thursday's Child - David Bowie I only think we will able to complete a couple cycles of this game. I've got no other Thursday songs in my iTunes library.

Someday Goo Goo Dolls

I'm done.

I like both, but I prefer Funeral.

You're right. I'm sure there was no time for that over the last 3.5 years. Obviously, no one in Radiohead cares what I think. It's simply a discussion on a discussion board.

I put together a list, but I can't narrow it down to a reasonable length.

Yeah, I'm probably a bigger Beatles fan, too. The Beach Boys are much more of a singles band (with the exception of Pet Sounds). But I love both bands, and their careers follow similar paths. Not only were they competing against each other, but they both moved from pop songs to far more advanced arrangements. My parents used to play the Beach Boys and Beatles over and over, and I just became a fan. Songs like Don't Worry Baby, Warmth of the Sun, Surfer Girl, and God Only Knows have some of the best harmonies I've ever heard. And songs like Wouldn't It Be Nice, Sloop John B, and Good Vibrations are just genius, IMO. Too bad Brian Wilson rows with one oar in the water.

Yeah, I am angry they cut Sweet Talk from the cd. I've only heard it live once (at a talk show, oddly enough), and it's fantastic. That's the moment I fell in love with that song, especially the ending.

I can't stop listening to the Royal Albert Hall live album. The Killers are at their best when they are live. Songs like Bling, All These Things That Ive Done, Sam's Town, etc. take on a whole different dynamic when played live. I think Ronnie is the 2nd most important member of The Killers. He pushes them when they play live.

It's summer in Southern California, so I had to give a bump to one of my favorite bands, The Beach Boys. Their music just makes me happy :)

^ That's an amazing story.

It's funny but I can't workout without music. My ipod was out of juice the other day at the gym, and the gym sound system was off. I had a hard time getting through my workout.

That might be might top 3, too.

Crawling - Linkin Park

Michael Jackson vs. Prince

Nothingman - Pearl Jam
