you have an older brother or something ?

no, why?

i dont know anyone you're age who would have that much exposure to a lot of those older titles ..

its not like they are that obscure and old but not on anyone's playlist for the last 30 years ..

*shrug* Buddy Holly > The Misfits

give that boomtown rats 'fine art of surfacing' album another spin .. i dont like mondays is ok - but it's the weakest song on the disc ..

one of my all time favorite solid LPs

If I Don't Like Mondays is the WEAKEST song on the disc, I'll definately have to listen to that pretty soon. IDLM is way high up on my list, if it were to be ranked

Honestly that list is about as close as you're going to get. Besides the Aerosmith and Pink flyod.

Maybe I missed it but... John lennon's "Imagine" wasn't on it?

Come on now.

1. Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
2. New Order - Perfect Kiss
3. Eliott Smith - Say Yes
4. The Smiths - This Charming Man
5. Foo Fighters - Everlong

Maybe not the best (besides Joy Division), but definitely my favorite.

close as I'm going to get to what?

and re: "Imagine", have you heard that song recently? Come on now.

As close as your going to get to the greatest songs of all time.

I have heard Imagine recently... about a weeek ago. what the fuck? that song is easily one of the best. Come on now why don't ya hey?

this is impossible ..

i'll give 'a' five, not 'the ' five ... there is no 'top five songs of all time'
no one on this forum - let alone the world can determine that.


so here are five songs that i consider to be perfect :
i could name a lot more ..


- Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
- Genesis - Supper's Ready
- David Essex - Rock On
- ACDC - Highway to Hell
- Burt Bacharach - This Man's In Love With You (depending on the version)

In no particular order

The Perfect Drug - Nine Inch Nails
Closer - Nien Inch Nails
Slipping Away - Nine inch Nails
Wish - Nine Inch Nails
Sanitarium - Metallica



I lie Nine inch Nails. A lot.
