Post your own list if you like.

[Sgt PSN]

Is this your own list or one you pulled from somewhere? 

Regardless, it's very rare that I find an album where I can listen to the entire thing but I love Green Day's American Idiot.  I can listen to that entire album for days. 

[Diomedes]

I made that myself.  I have listened to all of that new music (and a lot more) and I own several of the albums I list (about half).  I haven't gotten the others yet.  But I haven't caught up on what I thought was the best of 2001 yet for that matter, so...

[Diomedes]

I just saw Green Day on television.  They wear a lot of makeup.  So did Bob Dylan, sometimes.



I farging love Bob Dylan.

[General_Failure]

Of the CDs I got from this year, the only one I still listen to is Clutch - Robot Hive/Exodus. Everything else is back on the shelf collecting dust.

[Diomedes]

I still listen to Transnational Speedway League all the time.

[General_Failure]

I would listen to that still, but I got it from Napster legally four reinstalls ago. Now I have to go steal it.

[Diomedes]

Go to the library.

[General_Failure]

I owe them books from the 80s still. Will that be a problem?

[Diomedes]

Don't you think they wiped that out when you went into witness protection?

[General_Failure]

I suppose it's a chance I'll have to take.
