Anybody have any "Top ___ Songs" lists they want to post?
Does anybody here make any top songs lists? Like "Top 100 Songs Of All-Time" or "Top 100 Songs To Play On A Road Trip" or anything like that? I'm almost finished with a "Top 100 Songs Of All-Time" list...it's taken about a week or so to make. I'll post it when I get finished. I'm also working on a couple of more lists, too. Does anybody have any lists they would like to post?

-Karma Police is your favorite Radiohead song?? It's one of my less favorites on OK Computer (only Electioneering and Fitter Happier are lower on my list).
-Nice to see The Verve getting some respect!
-Big Velvet Underground and Beatles fan, aren't ya?
-Beck-Lost Cause?
Good job!
I'll post my list later this week.

I'm working on a list of top songs from the past 25 years to counter VH1's list, but it's taking longer than I thought because I keep remembering certain songs.

I'd say Spike is even more of a White Stripes fan.
I couldn't ever make a "top ___ songs of all time." Maybe of the year, but that would also be a very immediate list subject to change every week. Maybe the only dependable list I could make would be a "top songs by [enter artist]," and that wouldn't be many because I'm not familiar with many artist's complete discography.

I can't wait to see them on the 30th.
I have some bad news, though. Jack White fractured his left hand in a car accident a few days ago, and many shows are being postponed. I know for a fact that the July 29th show in Nashville is being postponed for "sometime in September, October, or November." 
That sucks, man.
