Anyone here collecting trading cards from the local comic shop? If so, let's make a deal.

Here are my top 5 Pet Shop Boys tracks that were unfairly left out of any "Top 5" list:
1. This Must Be the Place I Waited Years to Leave
2. You Only Tell Me You Love Me When I’m Drunk
3. Before
4. Se a Vida é
5. So Hard

My top 5 Pet Shop Boys tracks:
1. Being Boring
2. Rent
3. West End Girls
4. Suburbia
5. What Have I Done to Deserve This?

Canada

benjo, do you think it'll be possible to order books online?

Something else, namely:
-I blew every last cent I had on that Studio 54 album, or
-It was the first time I ever pinned a girl against the wall while listening to Studio 54.

Today's top headline:
1. Finally, the annual two-week break. ruggedcrane22 is absolutely soaring.

Yes

If I were out in Washington, D.C., exposing this kind of thing, I might actually have to pay for it with my life.

I suppose even this earns a few mod points, doesn't it?

What good is any association if people won't just sit down and sing together?🙂

Where the hell is Elvis Presley?
The list just doesn't feel right without Elvis Presley... 😠

Exactly. And now we’re missing: "Days," "David Watts," "I'm Not Like Everybody Else," "You Really Got Me," and "Well Respected Man"... there's always something left out when you try to cram everything into these cramped Top 5 lists.

My top 5 Ray Davison tracks:
1. Dead End Street:👍
2. Autumn Almanac😍
3. Waterloo Sunset🙏
4. Sunny Afternoon:🙂
5. Dedicated Follower of Fashion:klap:

Today's number one lyric:
1. Morrissey - On the Streets I Ran:

And when the palmist said, 'One Thursday you will be dead,' I said, 'No, not me, this cannot be. Dear God, take him, take them, take anyone. The stillborn, the newborn, the infirm—take anyone. Take people from Chicago, Illinois, just spare me!'

If we’re being honest about the origins of Stairway to Heaven, Davy Graham is likely the one most to blame. His brand of folk-psychedelia was something everyone was obsessing over back then, including Led Zeppelin. It resulted in a song that is arguably more etched into their legacy than almost anything else they ever produced. Which, frankly, is a bit of a shame. As for how a track like "STH" can actually be a blast to listen to, Frank Zappa proved the point quite well with his take on the album: 'The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life'.
