Hmm, I'd probably have to say
Mailman... gotta love the images conjured by the lyrics haha

I'm going to be really predictable, but seriously
Daydream Nation is probably one of the greatest releases of all time... It NEVER gets old, EVER!
10) Is there a song by 6 that makes you sad?
Meat Puppets
I wouldn't honestly say there was a song per se, but yeah, the ones they covered with
Nirvana at the Unplugged show can bring the occasional tear to my eyes, thinking of my fallen hero (RIP Kurt Cobain).

Queens of the Stone Age
Really don't like
Make It Wit Chu for some reason
12) How did you get into 10?

Just the one, the classic

Led Zeppelin
Honestly can't say I've ever cried listening to them

Jefferson Airplane
It's not because the song itself is so funny, but I always have to LOL at
White Rabbit due to
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas being one of my holy trinity of books...
'Let it roll!' he screamed. 'Just as high as the fucker can go! And when it comes to that fantastic note where the rabbit bites its own head off, I want you to throw that fuckin radio into the tub with me.'
hahahaha I love Hunter S. Thompson

Blood on the Tracks is probably my absolute favourite album of all time... I'm staring at my beautiful framed LP of it right now haha
28) How did you get into 2?
The Beatles
How does anybody get into The Beatles? They're the fucking Beatles, you have to get into them, it's like one of those indisputable laws of life, along with the fact that you will die, that the "emo" music of today (not the original stuff like
Rites of Spring, which while I don't particularly like I respect) sucks balls, and that Joan Rivers and
Michael Jackson are in fact the same person...

Sublime
Probably heard others before, but the first time I can remember hearing a song and knowing it was them was
Date Rape

Heart and Soul as I type this... eerie shit from itunes shuffle
33) How did you get into 12?
Big Black
Read about them in
Our Band Could Be Your Life, downloaded
Songs About Fucking, listened to it I think 8 times in a row, and began singing
Steve Albini's praises to anyone who would listen and lots of people who didn't give a shit
34) What is 45's worst song?
Circle Jerks
Can't say I really have an opinion on this, it's just really annoying that the goddamned scrobbler won't pick up on some of their tracks because they're so short... It's fucking LA punk, it's supposed to be short and fast, this is some of the best music around the scrobbler should fucking record it
35) Why do you like 34?
The Vaselines
Because they're awesome... thank you Kurt Cobain, for introducing me
