First heard of them from reading absolutepunk.net. Couldn't stand all the hype that was surrounding them on that site so I stayed away for a while. This was a mistake. One day I broke down and listened to

Morrissey)
So many great ones from the master of the mope. "America, it brought you the hamburger/Well America, you know where you can shove your hamburger/and don't you wonder why in Estonia they say/hey you big fat pig, you fat pig, you fat pig" always makes me laugh.

John Lennon was the greatest Beatle. There is no doubt in my mind to this fact. He wrote the greatest songs, had the best voice, and was the leader of the most wonderful movements. I can understand arguments for McCartney and will entertain thoughts on Harrison. Ringo was Ringo.

Give Peace a Chance for its obvious message and

Like Eating Glass.
23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (

Air)
Moon Safari is their masterpiece.
