They definitely were. He would routinely steal posts from here and pass them of as his own over there. Quite crafty really.

He posts as 'Modest' (formerly 'Modest Mouse') on SmarksChoice, which is all but dead at this point. Epic win.

I have an account on another board he's a member of, and I could theoretically invite him back.

5. 'Black Star' 4. 'Street Spirit (Fade Out)' 3. 'The Bends' 2. 'Just' 1. 'Fake Plastic Trees'

Happy birthday Davester.

Got my context wrong. Nevermind.

How valid are the comparisons to Blood on the Tracks? Considering the genre, I'm guessing not very.

2005 actually, but I did visit that very Borders. I remember buying Nineteen Eighty Four there.

Next time that anyone blasphemes against the good name of Yorkshire pudding, please call me to their prosecution.

Is anyone really surprised? This is Bob. I for one am appalled. Sorry to hear about your loss.

I only got into Freaks & Geeks recently, but I still think it's great nonetheless. Some of my favourite moments from the show were: 'Maybe if you don't drink alcohol you'll be cool' 'I have herpes' 'Space is like... lame' Ken's vocals on their cover of 'Sunshine of Your Love' Linda Cardellini's appearance

I really don't think that his voice was bad at all. It had character.

I like The Rolling Stones as well. I wanted for more Zappa and Zeppelin to be represented in this tournament.

I'm not really a fan of the band, but he was a very good drummer nonetheless. R.I.P

Excellent.

Surprise me.

Well, I'm convinced!

Sounds like my maths GCSE, except that I'm just going to have to retake it at some point before I go to university. I would have been able to wave goodbye to numbers entirely at the age of 16 if I had properly revised for it.

How are we defining the word 'singer' here? You can't really say that both Dylan and Franklin are great singers by any mutual standard.

Ring Of Fire" by Johnny Cash This one was difficult. Respect" by Aretha Franklin I hate the Byrds. "Cupid" by Sam Cooke That 'Sloopy' song is just disgusting. "Sunshine Of Your Love" by Cream Not my favourite Cream song, but I really don't get the Zombies at all. "Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkle Two perennial favourites, but 'The House of the Rising Sun' is a cover. "She Loves You" by The Beatles Even at their most primitive, the Beatles' lyrics were still in English ('Michelle' notwithstanding) and thus their songs were better than 'Bonnie and Clyde'. "Mr. Tambourine Man" by Bob Dylan The production ruins 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine' and this has the most wonderful imagery of pretty much any Dylan number. "Good Vibrations" by Beach Boys Slightly overrated in terms of Beach Boys songs, but still very good. "Eight Days A Week" by The Beatles No real explanation to offer here, I just prefer it. "Hey Jude" by The Beatles I like 'My Way', but 'Hey Jude' is as good as recorded music gets. "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks Two awful songs here. "Dazed and Confused" by Led Zeppelin 'Dazed and Confused': an excellent bassline, powerful vocals and a great riff. Pure blues majesty, 'Fortunate Son': 'I AIN'T NO SENATOR'S SON' "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles My third favourite Lennon composition. "Visions of Johanna" by Bob Dylan I love 'Stand By Me' but 'Visions of Johanna' is the best thing on Blonde on Blonde. "Jumpin Jack Flash" by The Rolling Stones Not as good as 'McArthur Park' but better than the Monkees. "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison Fantastic song. "Space Oddity" by David Bowie The peak of what Bowie did in this particular decade. 'Pretty Woman' just frustrates me. "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Elvis Presley It is my secret shame that I adore the musical stylings of Elvis Presley. Orbison can fuck right off. "Street Fighting Man" by The Rolling Stones I don't like 'Street Fighting Man' as much as most Stones fanatics do, but my mysogny is going to keep it in the game. "Crimson and Clover" by Tommy James and the Shondells Great song. I don't like the Who much at all any more. "Gloria" by Them Whilst Hendrix is obviously great, I don't find him too interesting when he's working within a pop song structure. "The Weight" by The Band Haven't explored their work any further, but 'The Weight' is great. "Heroin" by The Velvete Underground Subliminal. I don't like the Zombies, as I mentioned earlier. "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys Sorry to pull a Smues, but I don't even have to hear the other song to make an informed decision on this one. "Venus in Furs" by The Velvet Underground This one was hard. Well, not really, but it stings to have to vote against my own nomination. "Tears of a Clown" by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles The Jackson 5 were really rubbish. "Green Onions" by Booker T. and the MGs Good instrumental. "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan One of the greatest songs ever. "21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson Best album opener ever? Care to name a better one? Also, 'Gimme Shelter' is another Stones song I feel is slightly overrated. "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" by James Brown The Doors have atleast 30 better songs than the one selected here. "Scarborough Fair" by Simon & Garfunkel Yeah. "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong I far prefer his earlier material, but this is still good.

Change 'Silly' to 'Superb' and it'll be the first thing you have ever done that isn't a complete and utter failure.

Narrowly prevails over The Kinect Four.

I related to Holden Caulfield eerily well when I read The Catcher in the Rye a short while ago, so I shouldn't really throw bricks from a glasshouse w/r/t literary identification.

Drunk typing is a skill which is learned over time. I can pretty much do it fine now.
