All right, I'm going to be up working for a good while tonight, so you hip chicks and fellers gotta give me something to keep checking in on.

Tell me your top five rock songs of all time. Er, OK--I don't really believe in ranking music like that, so just give me five songs that really kick ass. It can be pretty much anything, but it has to rock. "You Dropped a Bomb on Me"? Fine. That song thumps. "Ripple"? Nuh-uh. Great song (yes, I'm actually admitting to liking a Grateful Dead song), but it just don't rock, dig? And try to think of something that's practically perfect. Like if the bridge sucks, don't list it. If it's got a kung-fu jam section that gets a little too out there, kill it. Oh, and try to limit yourself to one song per band.

Here's five from me. OK, so I can't limit myself to five, so here's a few. Gimme however many you want to.

"Kill Yourself"--Stormtroopers of Death

"Fun House"--The Stooges

"Bonin' in the Boneyard"--Fishbone

"Ace of Spades"--Motorhead

"Into the Void"--Black Sabbath

"In My Time of Dying"--Led Zeppelin

"Ghouls' Night Out"--The Misfits

"Thieves"--Ministry

"Joe McCarthy's Ghost"--The Minutemen

"She Watch Channel Zero?!"--Public Enemy (w/ a killer Slayer sample)

OK, what's that, ten? Wow, and that's leaving all kinds of bands out. I'd better stop and get to work. Discuss amongst yourselves.

One of the editors here saw my London Calling CD on my desk yesterday. He said, "Wow, I didn't have you pegged as a Clash fan!" I thought, ME? He's a guy who wears goofy ties and has grown children. Anyway, he was telling me that "Train in Vain" wasn't originally listed on the album sleeve. Impressed me.

I have to agree, that is a really great bass solo. . .
