At least the header is almost right again. I PM'd kt.

[LetMeSleep]

6 picks on one page - gold star.

You could all send me your picks and I'll just pick a winner.

[Birds in Hell]

If this somehow makes it back to me over the next few hours while I'm asleep, I'll catch up in the morning.

[epilogue]

Norm takes:

Tom Waits - Earth Died Screaming

So fucking sexy! This is my second favorite song from my favorite Waits album. Excellent pick. You're stock is skyrocketing, Hulk.

[epilogue]

Hole - Violet

And here we have the were exact opposite of Hulk's pick.

Gross. Best of luck to you, Stop, but you have assured yourself zero d,t votes.

Most of my picks reflect what I was actually listening to in the 90's - for a couple of years it was Nirvana and nothing else, then I started raiding my brother's record collection for things like Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, RHCP and REM.

Waits, however, I didn't even know about until my musical tastes branched out in the 00's, but he's since become a top 5 artist for me. Sometimes it's a bit of a slog to get to the gems on his albums, but Bone Machine is a fantastic record pretty much from top to bottom.

I'm debating whether or not to take a waits song, since I didn't start listening to him until 2000. My tastes were pretty similar to yours

Say what you will about Courtney love but live through this is an excellent record and violet remains a monster of a song.

[bada]

It's a good pick Stip.

[PryTo]

I thought the Celebrity Skin record was good, too. Some credit Corgan for that, but whatevs. Good songs are good songs. Caught 'em live on that tour and they brought it.

[ABNorman]

I grew up on the Courtney = Yoko = Evil bandwagon, but Live Through This and Celebrity Skin are both good records (though the hater in me wants to attribute the former to Cobain and the latter to Corgan).

[numbers]

I've always felt like hole songs were cobains cast offs in the way that ringos solo stuff were John and George's cast offs.

Kurt Cobain didn't write many bad songs.

30 minutes before KT is skipped and we move on to numbers

[numbers]

Has knee tunes been skipped before? Can I go?

[stip]

Regardless of who wrote it her performance is also exceptional

[stip]

Has knee tunes been skipped before? Can I go?

I think so. My list is home. Let's just say yes

[epilogue]

Of course I'm being a bit of a "drama queen" as the kids are so fond of saying these days. The presence of a Hole song won't mage me totally discount a team. But yeah I really hate Courtney Love. More than that though, I just don't think Hole were a good band.

[epilogue]

I hate her so much I had to post it twice.
