hey sammy miami, thank you, and Chip is my real "nickname" I'm a Jr. so they had to figure out something else to call me to avoid confusion and mass hysteria, I lucked out though if any other piece of paper was drawn out of the hat I could have been called Mack or Biff.

Rock On.

Hi, this was a great quiz, I'm so happy I was lucky enough to win the tie breaker. I do have a question though. How do I claim the t-shirt? Who do I give my address to? I'm so psyched to have won something. I never win. Thank you SONGFACTS!

I hope they come down and do a show in Florida so I can see them. Just to see Brian May and Roger Taylor live would be worth it. I think Paul Rogers will do the songs justice. I'm a huge Queen fan and even though Freddie is gone I'm sure some of the original spirit of Queen will shine through, and if they decide to throw in "All Right Now" or a Bad Company song then it's a nice bonus.

I re-nominate Boston's debut........it's flawless and timeless.
Other nominees:
Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend - great riffs, great drumming, great songwriting. From the infectious title track through the gorgeous "Your Sweet Voice"
Queen - I gotta go with "News of the World" as my favorite - songs like "Sheer Heart Attack" and "We Will Rock You" and the underrated "It's Late" all rock to high heaven. The sultry "Melancholy Blues," the bluesy "Sleeping on the Sidewalk", the solemn "All Dead All Dead" and the very raw "Get Down Make Love" are all a testament to the diversity of Queen's sound. "Spread Your Wings" shows how great a writer John Deacon was too. (Not to knock Queen 2 or Night at the Opera) I think it's their best album as a whole.
Other fav's - Barenaked Ladies - "Gordon"
Lowest of the Low - "Shakespeare My Butt"
The Gandharvas - "A Soap Bubble and Inertia"
(all three being great albums from Canadian Bands)
I know that the Stone Roses were nominated & listed a month or so ago with Second Coming, but man I think their self titled CD as a whole is far superior. "Love Spreads" is great, but there is not a dud on "The Stone Roses"
