very good choice my dear friend!

Bal 02.01.2008 05:46 AM

ive gotta add
lucky sperms : glass onion / tomorrow never knows to my list

koolthing78 02.01.2008 05:22 PM

Bad Moon Rising (tracks 1-4 in their entirety)
Schizophrenia
Fire Engine Dream
Jams Run Free
Starpower

Ok, that's not really ten. And it's kind of Kim-heavy. But those represent either my undisputed favorites, or what I've recently been listening to obsessively. Ask me in a few months and it could be totally different (except for Schizophrenia and Jams Run Free--those will always be tops for me!)

Ooh, I forgot "Sympathy for the Strawberry"
