I'm kinda of overhwelmed by this thread right now. Who wants to get deputized to handle some of these?

By the way, whether or not you're "right" on your choices (most of which, you are BTW), this is still a lot of fun.

Thx.

Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band

Spinal Tap

Unfortunately, you cannot disassociate a band from it's shitty work. So, no.

 

The Ramones may have gotten boring and repetitive, but at least Joey didn't prance around with knee pads on.

Even given your point -- which I agree with, by the way -- I have to STRONGLY disagree.

And I love the Ramones.

Guitar amp

Pet Chameleon

Bunch of Star Wars stuff

yeah, that's for the kids

I can't believe nobody has yet said...

The Rolling Stones (pre-Tattoo You)

np: King Khan & The Shrines - What Is?!?!

Pulp Fiction

with Reservoir Dogs in a solid 2nd

Getting hooked on Monk can be fatal.

Mmmmm hmmmm.

Excellent article, Louie.

Although I must admit to reading only about half of it (it is long), I intend to go back and catch the rest.

Thanks for the link and for taking the time to put that all together.

I think it's "Fingernails and cigarettes a lousy dinner" but your version is good too.

You're probably right.

And thanks.

I was also searching for a line from "Left Of the Dial", because I know it has many. But I just brainfarted and couldn't think of any.

Bacon and cigarettes make a lousy dinner.

The Creation - Our Music is Red

I just listened to Buhloone Mind State yesterday for the first time in maybe five years or so. Great album. Great song.

All I've heard are the first 2 albums. I love them both, so I guess I should pick up Buhloone Mind State, eh?

But, does it have that great book smell?

Reading is a tactile experience as much as an intellectual one. And that tactile experience cannot be replicated by a piece of electronic doo-hickery.

Andrew Bird - "Imitosis"

I suppose that "Tables & Chairs" is just tickling the bottom of that top 5 of mine.

"THERE WILL BE SNACKS!!!"

The songs that I can play over and over again:

"Ju Ju Man" - Brinsley Schwarz

"She Moves In Her Own Way" - The Kooks

"You've Really Got A Hold On Me" - Smokey Robinson

"You Still Believe In Me" - Beach Boys

"What Do You Think Of Love?" - Shrimp Boat

Actually heard a short debate on this on NPR last night.

Both sides were in agreement that it was an exciting breakthrough and would be preferable to using embryonic cells. But the scientific side offered a caveat that.. it would be IF the non-embryonic cells were as effective as the embryonic ones.

The pro-life side refused to acknowledge that possibility and simply went on ahead with the fact that the current research has been promising.

So they agreed, but in totally different ways.

Odd.

A newer song that easily fits the criteria:

"She Moves In Her Own Way" by The Kooks

Seriously contagious and fun and... perfect.

Pulp - Different Class

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

Dogbowl - Flan

Pat DiNizio - Songs & Stories

Neither mine nor my wife's names are in the top 5,000.

I am now out of my chair and doing a little dance!

bass, keys, drums -- and backing vocals.

any other instruments would be swell, too.

Drop me a line?

Thanks!

What a performance. Damn. I've never seen ACL rockin like that.

I was always lukewarm on them. But now, they are at the top of my "must see" list.

Yeah.

"Damn" is right.

Damn.
