Movies That Rock!

I was reading an article the other day about the best movies about music, so I figure, what the hell, I’ll post my top 5 and my bottom 5. Feel free to share yours.

Top 5
1. This is Spinal Tap
2. Stop Making Sense
3. 24 Hour Party People
4. The Song Remains the Same
5. Hard Days Night




5 worst
1. Rattle & Hum
2. Some Kind of Monster
3. Hysteria – the Def Leppard Story
4. Glitter
5. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonley Hearts Club Band

and just for the record, I only got to see about 5 minutes of "Glitter," and my decision was made.

2000 – 2009 Top 50 Albums

I meant to do this a long time ago, but hey, I’ve been busy. So, without wasting any more time, I give you the top 50 albums from 2000-2009. Now I put this list together over Christmas and after looking at it again, I am sure I can mix it up a bit, but I am confident in at least the first half of the list being 100% accurate.

Now there may have been other albums that should be in the top 50, but I put the restriction of only 1 album per band on this list. And if you want to listen to any of the top 25 on this list, just click on the names of the album.

Feel free to leave your favorites in the comment section.

Thanks and enjoy - JP
