Personal Top Lists & Rankings

unknown said:My top 10 absolute essentials from the '80s:
(...)
7. Kraftwerk—Das Model
(...)

Not really. I’m struggling to find any kind of logic—mathematical or otherwise—that would allow me to drag a track from 1978 into the eighties... 😕 😕

unknown said:Well, if we're talking about the absolute best, here are my top three webcomics:
1. red meat

Which pretty much explains the avatar... 😁

My top 5 shows:

1. Leeds Festival 2003 in Leeds
2. Rage Against the Machine in 2000 at Madison Square Garden
3. Pearl Jam in 1996 at Fenway Park
4. Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1998 at Coachella
5. Mars Volta in 2003 in Chicago

...

Here are my top 5 absolute worst concerts from last season (the ones I actually sat through):

1. antimaniax
2. lampshade
3. tarwater
4. m.a.s.s.
5. some random homo pop duo that opened up for unknown

A few things that just drive me up the wrong way about people:

1. People living some kind of fake high-life fantasy—you know, having a luxury SUV parked in the driveway while they don't even have running water in the house...
2. Getting kissed right after someone’s been drinking and smoking...
3. That constant need to lecture everyone else on how to live their lives...
4. Being incredibly cheap...
5. All that two-faced behavior...🙂

rutvica said:5 covers that actually beat the originals:
3) Lambchop – This corrosion (Sisters of Mercy)

Oh, come on. Look, I love Lambchop, I really do, but this version? It’s like drinking a lukewarm light beer. The Sisters of Mercy killed it! 🙂

rutvica said:Covers so bad you should probably shoot the artist—not just because they trashed a great song (which happens way too often), but because they actually had the nerve to pretend their version is the "real" one:
1) G'n'R – Knockin' on Heaven's Door (Bob Dylan)
3) T.a.t.u. – How Soon Is Now (The Smiths)

Man, the G'n'R version is hands down better. Honestly, I don't think I've ever heard a version of that song that was worse than the original.

As for T.a.t.u., they basically just made that dead song sound catchy.

My top 5 childhood juices (back before beer took over everything):

1. Welch's grape juice

I'm honestly ready to fight a whole crowd of people just to get one more bottle of this stuff, even if I have to dive headfirst into a sewer to find it!🙂

unknown said:1) Guns N' Roses – Knockin' on Heaven's Door (Bob Dylan)

Honestly, I feel sick every time I hear that raspy Avril Lavigne butchering this track. 👎

Nicholas Perez33 said:I am more than ready to grab a bottle of this stuff and choke out thirty Canadians with my bare hands before diving headfirst into a septic tank.🙂

Watch out—you might just get exactly what you’re wishing for before you even finish the thought... 😁 😈

Carol Jackson45 said:I honestly feel a little nauseous every single time I hear that raspy Avril Lavigne ruining such a classic track. 👎

I mean, you could give me a beard and call me Elvis Presley, but even then, I’d still think this song is just terrible. 🙂

Nicholas Perez33 said:Just give me the beard and call me Elvis Presley, but honestly, that song sucks.🙂

I'd consider forgiving you if I hadn't seen you hyping up Careless Whisper on another thread.😈

Carol Jackson45 said:I might consider forgiving you, but only if I hadn't caught you praising Careless Whisper on another thread earlier!😈

Well, I suppose I could suggest a few more sleazy ballads for some serious flirting—maybe something like unknown, unknown, or unknown?😁 😍

Nicholas Perez33 said:I could throw in some more sleazy ballads for making out, like

Man, I live for those. You totally forgot "Stop" by Sam Brown too. 😬

Get on it and make the list already. 😁

unknown said:Top 10 most common lies men tell:

1) I'll call you later
2) I love you
3) You're the only one
4) I've never fallen this hard before
5) I miss you
6) I'm thinking about you
7) I'm slammed at work and have to stay late tonight
8) You have the most beautiful eyes/hands/body/whatever
9) I'm not married
10) ___________ add your own 😈

😵 You've gotta be kidding me, right?

To me, the original version of Knockin' on Heaven's Door isn't actually anything special, but that cover version? A complete disaster. Absolutely terrible.

And don't even get me started on Total Eclipse of the Heart😬

hollowseal33 said:honestly, the original "Knocking on Heaven's Door" isn't even that big of a deal for me, but that Guns N' Roses cover? Total butchery. Just awful.

The original actually cracks me up more, whereas GNR somehow managed to turn it into this weirdly catchy little tune!

Adam Mendoza8 said:The original track is way funnier, but honestly, they actually managed to turn it into a pretty catchy song!

Yeah, you already made it clear that’s how you feel... you really think one post is gonna change my mind? :P

Nicholas Perez33 said:Here are my top five absolute worst concerts from last season (that I actually had the misfortune of attending):

I remember hearing about this back when I was first getting into the local indie scene. There was this one particular queer duo—a boy and a girl—who were actually performing together just before Bitcharka na trava hit the stage. It’s funny how those little pieces of musical history stick with you; I remember sitting in a crowded venue, nursing a drink, and thinking about how much the lineup had shifted since the previous season. It really makes you appreciate how much the landscape changes from one tour to the next.

I have to say, I found mine absolutely darling.😁

idioteque said:Personally, I thought they were actually quite sweet.😁

It’s such a shame they didn't bother to include the lyrics 😈

@preminula_karota: Well, you're a lady, so I guess you're naturally in charge of all that sappy stuff. I have to do my part to protect what little masculinity I have left!🙂

idioteque said:I found them quite charming.😁

Is that the lady with the polka dots from Washington, D.C.? 😁
