4:39 p.m.	one of those god-damned lists everyone loves so much	2003-01-10
Reaped	So I tried to assemble a good comprehensive list, but my brain is beginning to hurt. Too. Much. Music. So this is by no means comprehensive or even a great sample of what I�d really name as the top 50, given a couple hours alone in a well stocked music store. I�ll probably remember a whole bunch in a little while. For now though, let�s call this the **Top 50 most influential albums of my time, as remembered at work this Friday** 1. Lou Reed, Transformer a. stolen from my mom at the tender age of 12, who can say no to Goodnight Ladies? 2. The Cure, Disintegration 3. REM Eponymous a. Another stolen parental music unit. But damn the bitch was asking for it. 4. Violent Femmes, Add it Up a. Washed many a dish in the back sink of Checkers to this very soundtrack. 5. Smashing Pumpkins, Gish 6. Smashing Pumpkins, Siamese Dream 7. The Julia Hatfield Three, My Sister LP 8. Pearl Jam, Ten a. Can you tell by this point I was young and impressionable at the height of the grunge era? 9. Soul Asylum Grave Dancers Union a. My sister brought up my obsession with this rather embarrassing musical selection over Christmas this year. But hey, the Sun Maid had a glockenspiel, at least it ain�t Candlebox. 10. Gustav Holst�The Planets a. There is nothing like hearing �Mars� when you�re really pissed. 11. The Smiths, The Queen is Dead 12. Depeche Mode, The Singles 81-98 13. Nirvana, Incesticide a. Molly�s Lips is actually a cover of a Vaselines song. 14. Belle & Sebastian, The Boy with the Arab Strap a. Arab strap�Tee hee! 15. Descendants, Liveage a. At their best when urging the audience to buy a drink 16. Less Than Jake, Losing Streak 17. Sublime, 40oz to Freedom a. Especially the cover of the Descendants� Hope 18. Soul Coughing, Ruby Vroom a. And you are going to Reseda/ we are all in some way or another going to Reseda/ someday/ to die./ And the radioman laughs because the radioman fucks a model too. [screenwriter�s blues] 19.
