My Dad was always making lists of materials for projects. I guess the venn diagram overlap with the rest of the world is that people are always making top ten lists of stuff. "Desert Island Albums" and the like. So I've decided to create a lists - get all my likes and dislikes down in one place.
Top 10 Bands.
Top Ten Books.
Top Ten Songs.
Top Ten "Rock" Bands That Sound Like They Should Have Had a Top Ten Hit but Never Had a Top Ten Hit
1. Redd Kross
2. Sloan
3. Imperial Teen
4. The Pernice Brothers
5. Verbena
6. Built to Spill
7. The Wrens
8. Imperial Drag*
9. Electrafixion*
10. Yum Yum*
Note: *these last three bands only had one album - those albums make the possibilities of what they could have done even more intriguing.
Honorable mentions - The Posies, who should have had dozens of top ten hits but had one song - not their best - peak at #4. And Fu Manchu who are too, too, too loud to be earthly hitmakers, but on Planet Gigantoid are worshipped as Gods made Flesh.
