Rushmore05/01/2008

Great List Wezzo!

Thanks!

I made the decision to finally bump Springsteen ahead of R.E.M.... tough call.

Rushmore05/04/2008

aye i have to say i'm suprised over that choice, but i guess because i don't know Springsteen's work , i haven't got that to compare with

i'm glad you used "Go Home" as an example of BNL's finest moments , i love the lyrics in that song
