Bam: as a policy, any radio near me with that tedious git JBJ would get switched off the moment it came on. I don't know that song (for the above reason), nor do I want to. Just wanted to clear that up, as your bizarre assumption that we're all closet fans has thus far gone unchecked.

Uncomplicated: thanks for keeping The Jam in there, good to know there are legions of fans here.

OK, out: Wilco (drummers, yes, heavy metal ones, no)
In: Bjork at her finest

Blue, since I can't get to the board much anymore, could you please periodically enter: You Don't Know Me--r. charles, That's How Strong My Love is--otis redding, and In My Life by the Beatles?

I heard a MCCARTNEY SONG I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE last night!

I think it was called HOLDING.

Blue, do you have this tune? It was alright!

I just realized that I don't know the rules to this game, I've just been adding and taking out.

There is a time limit?

SoLack- You somehow seemed an ideal candidate to provoke for some funny and expected adversary reaction to that choice - didn't mean to bug ya too much.

Otis - Ok so that's your opinion of JBJ, but I don't recall saying that "we're all", or even that anyone (including myself) is, a "closet fan" of the song or him (whichever you meant). So I don't know what's gotten into you.
