Agreed.

Yeah, All Things Must Pass is a fantastic album. That ranks up with the Beatles albums, in my opinion. I think Harrison is the best as a solo artist, but in terms of pure talent I'd put Lennon above Harrison.

Well, look on the positive side; at least you're not Sally Struthers.

Ah. I'm not a fan so I didn't know the term

Since it calls him "EW columnist Stephen King" I assumed it couldn't be him. It seems completely out of context that he'd write a column for Entertainment Weekly. What's next, SRD writing for People?

As to the Beatles, they used to be in my top 5, but I think I got a bit tired of them. Still definitely up there but I don't play them much. John has always been my favorite but I agree that George's solo material is tops.

Trying to picture Malik as Sally Struthers...

Alright, I'm going to have to post my picture in the members' album to end this crap right now.

I'm not fat, female, nor a weepy geek. Who wants to arm wrestle?

You better thank God I'm not the moderator of the Album, Malik, or else this would be your pic:

She was cute, back in the 70's. And, she was a decent actress. Not quite Lindsey Lohan level, but decent nonetheless.

You're going to have to stop this blatant flirting. You're going to get me in trouble.

Agreed. Lennon was an artist in the purest sense. Harrison was too, though had more going on spirtually than did John. McCartney was a man better suited IMO for Tin Pan Alley. A true songsmith. Ringo was well....Ringo.

The Beatles, however, opened the damn game up for everyone. Before they and Dylan..irock was fun but not much more than that.

Wow, that's kind of a weird but interesting list. I haven't heard a lot of the songs, either. I was expecting a lot of death metal, but there isn't any. I'm surprised he's so into rock-a-billy. I more or less like the genre, but don't really listen to it. Here's the list with brief comments.

24- Inagaddadavida: Blech! I hate this song.
23- Dead Flowers: Great song
22- Needles and Pins: Ok
21- I Get Around: Ok, but geez, there are a lot better BB songs
20- On the Dark Side: Ok, but pretty forgettable if you ask me
19- You Never Can Tell: Never heard it that I remember, but I like Chuck B
18- I Want to Help You Ann: Never heard it
17- Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress: Pretty cool I guess, but not my favorite
16- Don't Be Cruel: Ok, probably not my favorite Elvis song
15- Ain't No Fun: Geez, don't remember this one at all, but if it's Bon Scott, I approve
14- 60 Minute Man: Never heard it
13- Mass. Ave: Never heard it
12- The Girl Can't Help It: Never heard it
11- She Loves You: Hate the Beatles, hate the song
10- A Big Hunk O' Love: Love it!
9- Bip Bop Boom: Probably heard it but don't remember it
8- Let's Have a Party: Never heard it
7- New Orleans: Never heard it
6- Ramrod: Never heard it
5- C'mon Everybody: Don't think I've ever heard it
4- Stupid Cupid: ???
3- Mystery Dance: Not sure if I've heard it
2- Burning Love: Love it!
1- Anarchy in the UK: Like it, but like a lot of other punk songs better
