changes all the time. what are yours?

Lots of good stuff, probably. Ten of those things, in fact.

really? we have the same list?

But really, I started to write out a list, and the first thing I always put is T. Rex's Electric Warrior, for it is the best album ever. White Light/White Heat comes next, and then I think I should put some David Bowie on there too, so I go with Ziggy Stardust & Co. because I don't feel like changing that anytime soon. And my Sonic Youth entry switches between DDN and BMR depending on how doom and gloom I am feeling, or whether it's autumn or not. New York Dolls s/t, then Blank Generation, and about here is where I give up and turn the whole list into a Nick Cave affair. It's just easier that way.

Here's some all time faves off the top of my head, in no order.
Elvis Costello - This Year's Model
Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup
Misfits - Box Set
The Police - Ghost In The Machine
Minutemen - Double Nickels On The Dime
REM - Murmur
Devo - Q: Are We Not Men?
X - Wild Gift
Husker Du - New Day Rising
Camper Van Beethoven - Key Lime Pie

alot of this stuff i've never heard. i will look into some of these cds

I'll make my list as if this were the summer before my eighth grade year, hmm? Here goes:

Led Zeppelin: Houses of the Holy
T. Rex: Electric Warrior
David Bowie: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust blah blah blah
The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Are You Experienced?
The Doors: s/t
Bob Dylan: The Freewheelin'
The Rolling Stones: Let It Bleed
Led Zeppelin (again): Led Zeppelin I
T. Rex (again): The Slider
David Bowie (again): Hunky Dory

Because Led Zeppelin, T. Rex, and David Bowie were the "big three." And life was so much easier back then when I only liked about 5 bands.

My friend's listing his personal top100 list, that's crazy and he admitted it's dumb because of the rate he buys music.

To me a top ten list is almost impossible task to do; I'm terrible at creating lists, and most of the records, I now listen to, I've been aware of only a few years. Many only one or one and a half.
Give me a couple of years.

So I just list shit that I like alot, not in any order, except for BMR, which is the greatest piece of music ever to reach my ears:

Sonic Youth - Bad Moon Rising
Nirvana - In Utero
Bardo Pond - Lapsed or Dilate, I can't decide. maybe Dilate
Slint - Spiderland
The Birthday Party - Junkyard
Rapeman - Two Nuns and a Pack Mule
The Dead C - (I should listen to them again) Tusk or Clyma Est Mort
Faust - IV
Circle - Forest
Gang of Four - Entertainment!

what's that "circle" thing,phlegmscope?

CHOUT! Key Lime Pie! I used to listen to that album endlessly. all her favorite fruit aby, al her favorite fruit!
