Thanks. That makes a grand total of 3 entities on the planet, with my mother and dog being the other two. I have (what probably amounts to an) irrational hatred of Oasis that would probably be better expressed via interpretive dance than some reasoned argument.IcePS- I left all Radiohead albums off my list, because if I included OK Computer, I would just have to include Kid A, Amnesiac, and The Bends as well, and then I'd probably put Pablo Honey #5 just for symmetry, even though Pablo Honey blows pretty hard.

The only thing yngwie malmsteen is good for is ridiculous Japanese video game music (yes, I own that album). It makes me sad, just looking at that fat-ass.

Call me wierd but... No Guns n Roses in here? I mean.. there Greatest Hits Album is nearly orgasmic.What about the Grease Album? :D My friend dug that out today and we were jammin too it in the car, a GREAT way to get some real strange looks from people... Following that was a long song haphazardly named... In-A- Gadda-Da-Vida 17 minutes of pure awesomeness right there. No Joke Guys.. If you don't appreciate that song you should die slowly.
