Especially if you can burn any of these for me, that would be kind of awesome.
Speaking of good music, whoever the fuck told me some 50 Cent song was number two on the Rolling Stones top 500...what the fuck? I've read through the top 150 or so, and there isn't any 50 Cent, or anything similar to it, anywhere on the list.
Another interesting Top 500 thing: Although the people I've spoken to about the subject(that is, only Siram and maybe Emily, I can't remember) agreed that Abbey Road is the best Beatles album, Rolling Stones rates it #14 overall, behind The White Album at #10, Rubber Soul at #5, Revolver at #3 and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band at #1(!)(Interesting fact, 3 of the top 5 albums are Beatles albums, 4 of the top 10 are, and 5 of the top 15 are. That's a solid record, methinks.). Upon seeing this, I listened to SPLHCB for a bit of reevaluation, and decided that although it is indeed much better than I thought it was the first time I listened to it(I was tired), I still think Abbey Road edges it out a bit. Maybe. It's close.
Also, London Calling was the #8 album, which is suitable, because I've decided it's just about my favorite album of all time. Kudos to Roman with an accent mark for bringing them up constantly, else I probably wouldn't even be able to identify any of their songs. I tip my hat.
If you look at the Top 500 list, you'll notice a lot of names appearing over and over again(The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin). There is a reason for that, I think. Good music is good. I like it some.
