Recently fell in love with "The Rain Song" by Led Zeppelin. Plus it's best to play during rain storms (oh, really?). I've also been playing The Wall's first CD and Physical Graffiti's second CD: (In the Flesh?, The Thin Ice, Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1), The Happiest Days of Our Lives, Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2), Mother, Goodbye Blue Sky, Empty Spaces, Young Lust, One of My Turns, Don't Leave Me Now, Another Brick in the Wall (Part 3), Goodbye Cruel World, In the Light, Bron-Yr-Aur, Down by the Seaside, Ten Years Gone, Night Flight, The Wanton Song, Boogie with Stu, Black Country Woman, Sick Again).

1. What You Need - INXS 2. Goodbye Blue Sky - Pink Floyd 3. Don't Let's Start - They Might Be Giants 4. Black Balloon - Goo Goo Dolls 5. Sweet Dream - Jethro Tull 6. Superstar - Sonic Youth 7. Turning Japanese - The Vapors 8. Feel Like A Number - Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band 9. Do You Feel Like We Do - Peter Frampton 10. For Tomorrow - Blur

I know, it's making me antsy. I believe any of the nominees could make it to the Top.

Wow, this was harder than I thought picking two female artists. So many great contenders. I went through a number of bands and solo artists to find my nominations. Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth) - The bassist and singer for Sonic Youth has so much energy to give during live performances. She's so jumpy. Kate Pierson (The B-52's) - Her and Cindy go great vocally together in the B-52's. She still looks and sounds awesome after all these years. Others who almost made my list: Tina Weymouth (Talking Heads) Feist Cindy Wilson (The B-52's) Courtney Love (Hole)

Yeah, I couldn't understand the Sgt. Pepper commercial for the Grammys. I was thinking, "Is Paul and Ringo going to do a reunion?" Anyways, I could care less about award shows in general since I can find out who wins the day after online, but I didn't like most of the artists nominated this year. I do believe Eddie Vedder was nominated for something?

Goodbye Blue Sky by Pink Floyd Link Black Balloon by The Goo Goo Dolls Link Well, since Brain Damage did so well last Top 10 I'll try another Pink Floyd song since I'm obsessed with The Wall right now... and The Goo Goo Dolls are somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me.

Holy crap! Both my nominations got to #1 and #2. Although I was hoping Brain Damage got #1. Now I can die happy. Kinda sad "Change" didn't make it.

1. Brain Damage - Pink Floyd 2. Change - Blind Melon 3. Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas 4. Crosstown Traffic - The Jimi Hendrix Experience 5. Smoking Gun - Robert Cray Band 6. Who Knows Where The Time Goes - Fairport Convention 7. I Love You - Steve Miller Band 8. Everything I Want To Do - Albert Hammond 9. Debaser - Pixies 10. Child in Time - Deep Purple

Levis, I love Blind Melon. "Change" will be near the top for me. Brain Damage by Pink Floyd Link Crosstown Traffic by The Jimi Hendrix Experience Link

1. All Those Yesterdays - Pearl Jam 2. Free Ride - The Edgar Winter Group 3. Sour Times - Portishead 4. When The Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin 5. Zombie - The Cranberries 6. Owner Of A Lonely Heart - Yes 7. Hot For Teacher - Van Halen 8. 21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson 9. It's Money That I Love - Randy Newman 10. Mercy, Mercy - The Rolling Stones

I feel like these may be odd nominations from me. Let's see how they rank: Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes Link Sour Times by Portishead Link

1. Devil's Party - INXS 2. Overkill - Men At Work 3. Plush - Stone Temple Pilots 4. Black Betty - Ram Jam 5. I Want It All - Queen 6. T S O P - M F S B 7. Jerk It Out - The Caesars 8. Rhayader - Camel 9. Too Much Ain't Enough - Tom Petty 10. Superstar - The Carpenters

There are about two good radio stations in my area. The best is PYX 106.5. It plays great Classic Rock tracks, but they have too many advertisements and their hosts talk too much. Get on with the music!

Baby Elephant Walk by Henry Mancini It's odd... but silly good. I had it on my iPod for a while before it drove me mad.

I'll try to find other songs until then. I do like this voting process, though.
