Stealing someone's post sure makes it easy to blog.
Thanks to Solonor, we have a good topic for today:
Hey Solonor-
I'm trying to come up with the Ultimate Rock CD. The criteria is as follows:
-The songs have to be relatively short (so no Rosalita or Stairway to Heaven, for example).
-The songs must be upbeat in tempo.
-The songs must ROCK (yes, in capital letters).
-The songs must be inclusive of all rock "eras" (so in theory it would appeal to a teenager and to old farts like us).
-Only one song from each artist (try picking one Green Day or Ramones song).
...
Maybe you could put this up on your web site, I’d love to get lot’s of ideas.
Far be it from me to let a good list making opportunity go by. And by that I mean
you making the list, not me.
You get to list
up to ten songs (Solly was generous and let his readers list twenty). Ok fine, you can list more than ten. I don't want anyone accusing me of being cheap with the song lists. And, I'll change it a little by saying not only should you represent all rock
eras, but fit as many rock
genres in there as well.
There's no ultimate point to this other than it will start some good fights and and the lists will be fun to read and if you keep the lists numerous and interesting, I won't have to blog again today and I can go back to bed, where I'm supposed to be.
We're going to do this two ways: You can either do it the open mic way, by logging in and making your own post (you MUST put your name on the post somewhere) or, if you are too lazy to do that, use the comments on this post. If you've got a blog, link it. Free advertising!
Have fun, play nice (or kind of nice) and I'll be back to
make fun of enjoy your lists later.
