Nasty

So it has been gross outside and inside my houes. Only two rooms with AC and I usually end up getting ousted from them as my parents and sister hog that. Whatever. Anyway, so I've been pretty bored and down in the dumps so I think we all know what that means. LISTS! Stev and Leo started doing more intimate and personal lists of their fav artists so it was only natural that I did my own.

In honor of the Who coming to town in a few months time, I will post the glorious top 100 Who songs. It's a good list as any band with an amazing catalogue of rock songs would be. So here tis.

So thats that list. It's pretty solid all around. Some of you might say 'Jeez, Paul. Most of the big hits are on the top.' Well, let's be honest. When it comes to rock songs that are big hits, The Who wrote the best ones. I mean, no shit Baba O'Reilly is that high. It's just that great. No matter what. Unlike the Beatles or something, if I even ever TRIED to list my fav songs of theirs, it would be totally different as the Beatles biggest hits arent nearly my favs. Anyways, I am working on two more artists lists. Neil Young, which is proving to be very daunting, and a newcomer that will only be 50 songs, King Crimson.

Artists list still needs some tweaking, but here is a preliminary artists top 100 that is pretty solid for the first half then a jumbled mess of great bands that arent ranked yet.

Some changes and additions. Crimson moves up, Beatles move down, Floyd moved down and some additions of other artists I have been getting into big time as of late.

Let me know what you think. I figure I wont hear anything about the Who songs, or the artists list for that fact. But ya know, lets spark some conversation, dammit!
