Great list, nice to see REM high up, and nice choices of Beatles and Radiohead.

lukeprog09/23/2004

I've long been tempted to make a list like this, but it's a little daunting because there are 11,000 individual tracks (almost zero whole albums, and most artists only have a couple of tracks that I like) that I enjoy (and this number is always growing, of course).

Glad to see you pulled it off, though! Good work!

pistolpete10/07/2004

Good List! Especially like #'s 34, 58, 67, 79, and 97.

Wezzo10/16/2004

Yay, an update! Some more very great choices.

Great list. &nbsp I've seen &nbsp The Zombies and The Buzzcocks (twice) this year, and I'm going to see Queen (with Paul Rodgers on vocals) on July 8th.
