Alright...something weird just happened. I'm at home today because a guy is working on my trim in my house.

Dude.
Thank you for that epic list.
I am always in need of new music and this is just a shove in the right direction!

Way to remember Ozzy as well; Randy Rhoads is such an undersung hero (and not only because he died young, he was amazing before that!)

[Ddjembe Mutombo]

Man, it's too hard to limit it to 5, so here's a stream-of-consciousness list.

In no particular order:
- "Slanted & Enchanted" by Pavement
- "Wowee Zowee" by Pavement
- "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" by Pavement
- "Real Emotional Trash" by Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks
- "Keep it Like a Secret" by Built to Spill
- "Live at Leeds" by The Who
- "Kick Out the Jams" by MC5
- "Surfer Rosa" by Pixies
- s/t by The Beatles
- "Abbey Road" by The Beatles
- "Damaged" by Black Flag
- "13 Songs" by Fugazi
- "Daydream Nation" by Sonic Youth
- "Do You Know Who You Are?" by Texas is the Reason
- "Yank Crime" by Drive Like Jehu
- "Static Age" by The Misfits
- "The Shape of Punk to Come" by Refused
- "Beggars Banquet" by The Rolling Stones

I love 13 songs and Do you know who you are. I really am a sucker for 90's emo and fugazi.

Alright...something weird just happened. I'm at home today because a guy is working on my trim in my house. We just got to talking and started talking music (all my amps and stuff out).....turns out he was the bass player for Billy Joe Shaver for years! Weird that I just listed BJS as one of my all time favorite albums.

the touring guitarist for bob dylan almost bought one of my old road cases. I found that gnarly as hell.
