Rain

I was surprised to see some of the people whom I'd not realized had not been included, like John Scofield, Kenny Burrell, and Paul Gilbert. A little disappointed that some personal favorites like Tommy Bolin were still left out, but I feel that this took care of the worse, most disrespectful omissions. I was also surprised to see how often one can use the word phenomenal in 13 minutes. Seriously, cool list though.

Not yet, I am embarrassed to admit. It's been on my list forever.

Anvil - School Love

Judas Priest - Between the Hammer and the Anvil

Fantastic job, mate! I remember the previous one was equally amazing (something from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, right?), For all its quirks and despite the strange production, I am a HUGE fan of that record. Actually, even though I used to think of myself as more of an Ozzy-era purist because Speak of the Devil was my gateway to Sabbath, I am a huge fan of practically all of their records. They had some amazing singers, didn't they? Dio, Gillan, Gillen, Hughes, Martin... Not too shabby.

Kristy Thirsk - Behind the Wheel An interesting take on the Depeche Mode song. The vocal's a tad too emo/intense for my taste, but I still dig the haunting vibe.

Elvis Presley - Fun in Acapulco

Kraftwerk - It's More Fun to Compute/Home Computer

Nine Inch Nails - Zero Sum

Yellow Magic Orchestra - Solid State Survivor

The Allman Brothers - Statesboro Blues

Beck - Gold Chains

Syd Barrett - Golden Hair

Some things need not even be addressed. Care to embarrass yourself some more, Mr. Simmons?

And an old favorite... Jimi Hendrix - Midnight Lightning

George Jones - White Lightning

Scorpions - China White

As long as I don't have to be immortal... ?

Figured out it'd be a lot quicker than to list what's wrong. I'll start. They're not immortal. There. Done. Cioran might argue that even then, but I think Sartre would agree.

The Neon Judgement - Chinese Black

Unlucky Morpheus - BPM 210 No Shanghai Alice

Sisters of Mercy - Alice

I may just temporarily re-subscribe to Paramount for this.

Hawkind - Motörhead

Chris Spedding - Motor Bikin'
