I've been working on my list for our meeting and I'm pretty stumped. Too many bands and songs to choose from. Couldn't we of made it the top 1000 bands/songs/albums of all time? Anyway, looking forward to the meeting. Music has a right to Children.

I'm telling you -- it's all about Honourable Mentions. Have, like, 20. Okay, maybe just one or two.
The trouble I'm having is that I keep wanting to put on people like Nirvana and Pearl Jam, but they're on every 28-year-old's list (except, probably, Matt's -- the snob!). So do I ignore those as gimmies, or do I count them as influences? They were totally a part of my music journey, but there were other lesser-known artists who were there too; just on a slightly smaller scale.
Or maybe I just use those guys as Honourable Mentions and focus more on people everyone knows less. I guess we'll see on Friday.
Ya dude--should be interesting. I wonder what Alan will have on his!
I've been looking at this from the point of view of albums that have truely mattered in my life, almost like I was putting together a soundtrack for my life story or something.
There are 100's of albums that I love and own but only a select few that have ever been real corner stones. I don't think it matters that the album might be generic or a cliche, all that matters is that is meant something to you.
My list will probably have some usual suspects on there for sure.
