You guys are snobs. Yeah, seriously, you're totally elitist. You feel like the unappreciated scholars, so you $*$@ onto people who know lesser than you.

My friends and I are putting these lists (from the movie High Fidelity) through their paces, and I wondered what tomfoolery the denizens of theNTMF would put them through. Go for it.

Note: List #2 has been edited from the movie's list of "Top 5 Crimes Prepetrated by Stevie Wonder During the 1980's".

Well, my number #1 song for a Monday morning is easily Big's "Everyday Struggle" (minus the suicidal undertones)...

And for "Side One/Track One"...gimme "Intro" off "Lord Willin'", but only cuz I been OD'in off it all day.....

Mace just happens to think John Cusack is really cute, that's all

 

[hugebird]

Eww @ any movie that has Jack Black and add that to anything John Cusack has done outside of the 80's and you get a $%&^storm of eww.

I'll do my list later.

 

[ipodschun]

I don't remember much else about the movie, but this movie introduced me to The Beta Band - Dry the Rain so I'll always appreciate it for that atleast.

Can't do much for the other lists, but if #5 is meant to be a Personal Top 5 list, here's what I can come up with right now (in no order)...

The Beatles - Abbey Road
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's
The Clash - London Calling
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
... Weezer - The Blue Album

There's like 5 albums I want to put in that last spot. The top 4 are pretty much in cement though. DJ Shadow - Endtroducing, The Mars Volta - De-loused inthe Comatorium, Miles Davis - Kind of Blue... I'll just say The Blue Album for now, since that's what's what I've been listening to a lotlately.

I'm amazed that a fun thread like this gets no love, but any mention of Jay vs Nas is automatic platinum. Such is the nature of this board, so I guess Ishould already know what time it is...

@ Zombie Nation...I've been listening to that song non-stop, due to the fact that we've played it at all our football games, and it gets me extrapumped, especially with our bowl game comin up.
