Boredom has Struck

We're just about to enter the Black Hole of Calcutta, sports edition. At least this year the Knicks are entertaining - good win tonight. Anyway, we'll take a sharp right turn and veer wildly away from sports/baseball until the start of ST, outside of reporting on the CWS, of course. So our first topic will be:

Name Your Top 10 Music Albums (it's totally subjective, and might spark some debate/fun)

1. Matchbox 20 - Yourself or Someone Like You
2. Depeche Mode - Ultra
3. Depeche Mode - Playing the Angel
4. Matchbox 20 - More Than You Think You Are
5. Fastball - All the Pain Money Can Buy
6. U2 - Joshua Tree
7. Pearl Jam - Ten
8. Gin Blossoms - Dusted
9. Soul Asylum - Grave Dancer's Union
10. Goo Goo Dolls - Dizzy up the Girl

BTW - there are no games tonight, so no WLR tomorrow, which is why I felt the need to do this.

  2. 10. Derek and the Dominos - Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs
    09. The Beatles - The Beatles (White Album)
    08. The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street
    07. The Jayhawks - Hollywood Town Hall
    06. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
    05. The Grateful Dead - American Beauty
    04. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
    03. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?
    02. The Who - Who's Next
    01. The Beatles - Abbey Road

    My top ten is always changing. Hard not to stick any Zeppelin at all. They've got to be in there, just not on this instant list. Other Beatles, Revolver, Sgt Pepper's, Rubber Soul are easily interchangeable at any time. Same goes with Eat A Peach, Cosmo's Factory, Deja Vu, Sticky Fingers, Blonde on Blonde, Dark Side, Diver Down, Harvest, Village Green Preservation Society, Gilded Palace of Sin and so on.
