If you can only keep 25 songs

[Ulysses]

That is def. in the running for best list yet.

[Ulysses]

Zee. First off, I'm impressed. Overall, v. nice list. Some overexcitement w/ certain bands, but that is excused due to your youth. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Green Day - Basket Case

[/ QUOTE ]

I think there might be a better Green Day song for this list.

Local H - Bound for the Floor (I expect multiple people to errata their lists and add this song after seeing it on my list)

[/ QUOTE ]

All the Kids are Right is a better choice.

In no particular order...

Man, your list sucks. You are better than this. Way too narrow.

If you're putting King Crimson in, you have to put '21st Century Schizoid Man,' that song rules.

I'm more of a fan of their post-Lake work. I mean, granted, early King Crimson is some of the best music ever produced, but we're talking top 25. Larks tongues obviously makes, and NW is a personal fave.

Sorry, Rick, can't do that. That is why my current 42 songs is really like 50.

Cool or Not Cool? (remember I'm 50 yrs old [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img])

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, cool is a stretch, but I did know them all - and love the mike l. song. For starters, I'll say this. Big Country, BoDeans, Connells - I like all three of those songs, but you can definitely find better. Cranberries? Come on.

Dramarama. Great choice. That is a possible addition/replacement to my list.

Nice call.
