This One Goes Out To All The CorDawgs In Da House
At one time my friend Corey had one of the greatest web pages of all time- no kidding. It was one of the best pages I’ve ever seen. Anyway he ran a bunch of lists and discussion boards about all things pop culture related, but most of all music.
Well, a few weeks ago I couldn’t sleep so I came up with two top ten lists (much in the way Corey’s page did) and I jotted them down. It made me think of my old friend, and ironically enough he contacted me a few days after. It was good to hear from him again and I decided to post up the lists.
Now, bear this in mind- I wrote these without much sleep and even less thought, ergo these are living documents, that is to say I reserve the right to change my mind at any time. Alter them and flip-flop as much as I wish. However, feel free to comment away on content.
Enjoy- and let the debates begin…

Was wide freakin' awake when I wrote that part... I'll stand by the Beasties anyday. Paul's Boutique is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Um.. Chuck. Perhaps I should have mentioned the Culture Club? (no, you will NEVER live that down.)

Is your Top 10 Band list "In Order"?
If so, I'm pretty sure the guys from the Police and the Who would remind you of a band called the Rolling Stones. If you don't like them I understand, but they can't really be left of a list like this, can they?
I like the opening lyrics list idea quite a bit.
"Load Up On Guns and Bring Your Friends, It's Fun to Lose and to Pretend" -Smells Like Teen Spirit
It's been over 15 years for that tune, and whether you like it or not, that song kicked the industry in the nuts, and killed Hair Metal.
"She was a girl from Birmingham, She just had an abortion, She was case of insanity, Her name was Pauline she lived in a tree"- Bodies (Sex Pistols)
I love the Pistols. I should have probably put the opening to "Anarchy in the UK", but that's too predictable, and honestly, neither should really be in the Top 10.

You know I'd move #8 up a little higher, but that's 'cause I view them as my generations Beatles.
Good to see you typing again, bro-ham. I guess the seven fifty-five has slowed down a bit, eh?
