Okay, one, I am a hippy at heart so don’t hate me.
Two, I love all music, and I have a top ten fist pump of live music, none which have anything you have listed, so I have research to do.
I’m going to check these out, but will you check out mine?
Plus, it is just an effin fact that whatever you think is gonna hit, doesn’t, whenever you think you just wasted air, people respond, blowing your mind.
Being a writer is nothing less, nothing more, than back ass awkward.
It’s like being a teenager with a boner in front of class, having not done the homework, while everyone watches, judges, laughs, or cringes.
Or, you might nail the problem, tuck and roll, and sit down a hero.
I don’t have a penis, but I’m just sayin…

What part of no particular “oder” was not understood?
An honorable mention from the Chili’s was going to be One Hot Minute, but I really wanted to stick to the top ten rules of engagement. Otherwise I probably would have a live vs studio double list, missed the 2 minutes to midnight reference and been up all night making sure every thing passed the all important Gran Turismo test doing donuts in a 700 horsepower Chevelle 454 to the Fu! Which sounds like a good idea right about now…

Yea, D, I think you did a top 24: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 24.

A top 10 would have been 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, 1010.

Further proof that the war on drugs is not effective.

Digitaldarryl – I have to admit you caught me off guard. I expected more of an “all metal, all the time” list from you. And the Blues Traveler was a surprise. One of my all-time favorites is the double “Live from the Fall” album, which is great for a long drive, by the way. (oh, and your binary is a bit rusty.)

I know I’m late to the game, but I also want to throw in a vote for “Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik” from The Red Hot Chili Peppers – a desert island disc, and great for driving.

Under the guillotine of af Friday deadline here is a list of 10 I am certainly pleased with, in no particular oder, cause getting to Colorado would run twice through these on the first leg:

0 Motörhead – Kiss of Death – Yeah Motörhead is STILL kicking ass, as this one came out in October… And what’s a top 10 driving list without Motörhead? Flat out wrong. Motörhead has been solid as a rock since The Young Ones had them rip on The Ace Of Spades in the living room. That’s just full throttle for like a quarter century.

1 Incubus – Make Yourself – I generally don’t go for the scratch along kinda stuff but this on makes Nebraska seem like the moon or some other alien world.

10 The Allman Brothers Band – 2nd Set – doing a double take of Organic Chemistry from the Cape seemed less painful with this going on and on and on like the Allman’s are so good at.

11 Soundgarden – Badmotorfinger – Seattle’s finest in my opinon. And you bet them fuckers out there know how to drive in the rain.

100 Janes Addiction – Nothing’s Shocking – Mountain Song got me to high school every day for, um, yeah several weeks.

110 Queen – Classic Queen – So did Freddy Mercury and Brian May.

111 Van Halen – Fair Warning – Got one foot out the door / Time to head the road / Ain’t no match for your mean old man / And I think it’s time to roll

1100 Testament – Low – Somehow NJ turnpike fire traffic seems to summon metal. Its erie and this one’s perfect for it.

1101 Blues Traveler – Save His Soul – This one swells and ebbs just right to make a commute go by fast but not get one busted. Genius.

11000 Iron Maiden – Live After Death – Being that’s its just about 2 minutes to midnight – Jsin and I will be back later.
