Ok, I'm going to start doing some Top 10-style lists of things that I like. I think I'll start off with Bands and their discographies. Each entry will list one of my top 10 bands and for each band I'll rank my top 5-10 albums by them as well as top 10 songs by them. Plus some comments on each item.

So an example would be:

#11 Mike's F'd Up Journey (a decent modern band, the lead guy is kinda weird though.)

Top Albums:

6) Self Titled (Essential Listening. Great riffs, but the solos sound like a cheese grater being repeatedly hit by an oscillating fan)

5) II (too much electronica for my taste)

4) The Walrus Chronicles (The imagery is too postmodern)

3) I Said 'Good Day!!' (Too Short, even for an E.P. It's only 25 seconds long, and two thirds of it is silence)

2) The Last of the Good Ones: the Very Best of MFUJ (a decent 3 disc retrospective. That Dance remix of Slate's Theme was a bad idea. That was an early sign of the band selling out)

1) My Love of Pie is Always Trumped by my Hatred of Soup (A timeless masterpiece. Equivalent of Dark Side of the Moon, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Nevermind all rolled up into one).

Top Songs:

10) Her Theme (intriguing, with shades of second wave feminism leaking through the guitar licks.)

9) I Told You (The vocals remind me of the time Cookie Monster was put through a garbage disposal.)

8) Cockroach Colored Wings (That guitar solo, wow, it was like hearing the voice of...Jerry Springer!)

7) Banished? (Too industrial. But those bass lines are to die for.)

6) Brick's Theme (The closest thing to an aneurysm captured in digital code)

5) Walrus Intro (The best opening number to an album. Ever. Take that SLTS!)

4) Byzantium Part 2: Brick in the City of Byzantium (I was always confused as to whether this was a religious allusion or talking about a long trip to 7/11)

3) I Don't Wanna Be the Same (Totally overplayed on the radio, but I still love it.)

2) Juiced Walrus (Grabs you by the balls and then quickly lets you go as the song continues.)

1) Byzantium (Perfection.)

I'll start tomorrow.
