Well it has been awhile since I have done one of these, but here we go. Top 5 debut albums. Now this should be self explanatory, but just in case there is confusion, this would the first album released by an artist, not a reissue of an earlier work, but the first release.
For example, The Beastie Boys, their debut album would be “Licensed to Ill” and not the reissue of their old songs on “Some old Bullshit.” Got it?

Here are mine:
1. The Clash – The Clash
2. Nine Inch Nails – Pretty Hate Machine
3. Spiritualized – Lazer Guided Melodies
4. Ned’s Atomic Dustbin – God Fodder
5. Oasis - Definitely Maybe

Top 5 Fight Scenes
Today’s top 5 is about being tough. When I was a kid, I remember watching such films as Die Hard and Road House and saying to myself, that scene was a tough as it gets. With that in mind, I bring you the top 5 best fight scenes.
1. They Live
2. Road House
3. Bloodsport
4. Kill Bill Vol. 1
5. The Last Dragon
I couldn’t find the clip for die hard when John McClaine beats up Karl, so that is not why it is on here.

Top 5 late 80's early 90's dance songs
For some reason I am in some sort of weird late 80’s early 90’s dance mood. So, here we go. Top 5 dance tracks from that time. Seems like the more obnoxious the better.
And in no particular order
Dee Lite – Groove is in the heart
Snap – The Power
Nenah Cherry – Buffalo Stance
M.A.R.R.S. – Pump up the Volume
Expose – Point of No Return
leave your list if you dare, in the comments section.

Top 5 Concept Albums
It’s been a little while since I posted a new top 5, but out of a recommendation from my friend John, I bring you the Top 5 concept album list.
Now I know, some will vary on what they believe is a concept album, but general definition is an album that is unified by a single theme. I am sure this will be all over the place, but let’s have some fun with it.
Here are my Top 5 concept albums.
1. David Bowie – The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
2. Neutral Milk Hotel – In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
3. Pink Floyd – The Wall
4. The Who – Quadrophenia
5. The Flaming Lips – Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Put your top 5 in the comments section.

Top 5 most underappreciated Bands of all-time
Now everyone knows the stones, the beatles, the beach boys and U2, but what about those bands that should have been huge, but never really caught on? Now I know this is going to vary from person to person, but that is the whole point of these, but what are yours? What bands do you think should have been bigger, but just didn’t get the respect they deserved?
Well, here are mine and these could either bands that no longer exist or current one.
1. Ned’s Atomic Dustbin (awful video)
2. Doves
3. Catherine Wheel
4. Olivia Tremor Control
5. Elf Power

Top 5 Bands You Want to See Reunited
Top 5 Bands You Want to See Reunited
Since this is the first day it seems like the sun has been out in June in Chicago, it got me thinking about the upcoming summer festivals that will be taking place in this great city.
One thing that has been consistent over the years has been bands reuniting to play Lollapalooza, Pitchfork or even the Taste. So, with that in mind, I bring you today’s top 5 list: Top 5 bands you want to see reunited to play live at your favorite summer festival. Now there is only one rule to this, the members need to alive, since John and George are gone. Now you could do something like Queen or Zeppelin since they have played live since the loss of Mercury & Bonham.
Anyway, here are mine, please submit yours in the comment section
1. The Smiths
2. Blur
3. Stone Roses
4. Catherine Wheel
5. Ned's Atomic Dustbin

Top 5 Cover Songs
I’m going to have a lot of running around to do tomorrow, so I thought I would post the weekly top 5 list today instead of on Friday.
Going back to the music realm of top 5’s, I ask you for your top 5 cover songs.
Now I know I am going to catch shit from some of you on these because of who is covering the tunes, but god damn, if you can't admit they are quality, you in fact may be a (insert insult)
anyway, here they are:
1. Pixies – Head On (Jesus & Mary Chain)
2. Ned’s Atomic Dustbin – Saturday Night (Bay City Rollers)
3. The Cardigans – Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Black Sabbath)
4. Travis – Killer Queen (Queen)
5. Nine Inch Nails - Dead Souls (Joy Division)
I originally had this as number 5, then I remembered how good of a version trent did of that joy division classic.
6. Oasis – Cum on Feel the Noize (Slade)

Random Updates for today
Here are some random links to interesting items I found on the interweb. Also, below you will find a list of new concerts going on sale.
Stream the new Sonic Youth album Eternal here
Pitchfork Reviews the new Jarvis Cocker album Further Complications. As always, I think pitchfork takes off a few points for everything that is not 100% “indie”
The new Mos Def album, True Magic comes out on August 24.
Baebelmusic posted a Beirut concert a few weeks ago, so I thought I would make sure you all got to check it out. The first song is “East Harlem” which apparently he wrote when he was 17.
Paste Magazine provides their top 10 list of music magazines to follow on twitter.
Filter Magazine lists their best albums of the year, thus far.
Michael Caine spills the beans on who will be the next villain in Batman. God, please let this be true.

Top 5 Lists - Simpsons Episodes & Quotes
Since I have been slacking on the updates and the top 5 lists, I decided to do two today.
After talking with some friends, I thought these two would be fun and also a little difficult. Please feel free to email or put yours in the comment section.
Top 5 Simpsons Episodes
1. Lisa on Ice – This is the episode where Lisa needs to play an outside sport in order to avoid getting a “F” in gym class. A Bart vs. Lisa classic.
2. Last Exit to Springfield – Homer because the union rep for the power plant and goes into negotiations with Mr. Burns after the plant goes on strike.
3. Homer the Great – In this episode, Homer becomes the chosen one to a underground group known as the Stonecutters
4. Cape Feare – The Simpsons re-inactment of the movie with Side Show Bob
5. Bart Sells His Soul – This one starts off with Bart getting Iron Butterfly played in a church service. Moe also opens up a family restaurant in his bar too. A classic!
Top 5 Simpsons Lines (I know, this one is impossible)
1. “Surly on looks out for one guy...Surly” – Surly Dwarf
2. “In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women.” – Homer
3. “No children have ever meddled with the Republican Party and lived to tell about it..” – Sideshow Bob
4. “I’m going to the back seat of my car, with the woman I love, and I won’t be back for ten minutes!” – Homer
5. “Women and seamen don’t mix.” - Smithers

New Shows Announced
I am going to be updating this every week with new shows that have either been announced or go on sale the upcoming weekend. Now I am copying and pasting these without any filter, so just because they are on here, does not mean they are worth seeing. Some however are must sees. Charlatans UK, anyone?

Friday's Top 5 list - Toughest Guitar Solos
After rocking out on my way home last night, I thought this week’s top 5 should deal with shredding.
Ok people, your top 5 tough as nails guitar solos and we are talking kick you in the face tough, not difficulty. We’re talking the kind of tough where after you heard it, you wanted to buy a guitar, get a hotel room and trash the fuck out of it.
1. Eddie Van Halen – Eruption (this solo was so fucking bad ass, they just made it a song)
2. Jimi Hendrix – Voodoo Child – I can hear Jimi, can you?
3. George Lynch – Mr. Scary – You gotta love the hair and the triggered drums, but they don’t come close to taming the massive shredding going on here.
4. Kirk Hammet (Metallica) – One – It may have been their first video, but in this song you can hear how amazing of a guitar player Kirk Hammet is. One of the best and smoothest shredders of all time. Solo begins at 5:45.
5. Marty Freedman (Megadeath) – Holy Wars – The actual solo begins at 4:36 mark, but the song as whole is pretty bad ass!

2009 Lollapalooza lineup
The Lineup for Lollapalooza 2009 was announced this week and in my opinion, looks like it will be a good time. Lots of Rock and more importantly the reformation of my favorite childhood band, Jane's Addiction. Yes, I know, they have played together a couple of years ago, but that wasn't the same. Flea was not in the original lineup, Eric A was. Now that Eric A is back, Jane's Addiction is back! Chances of them being boring 50/50.
Below is the lineup for this years festival. Chances are there will be at least 3 more bands added. I am hoping for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Super Furry Animals & Blur!
* Depeche Mode
* Tool
* The Killers
* Jane's Addiction
* Beastie Boys
* Kings of Leon
* Lou Reed
* Ben Harper and Relentless7
* Thievery Corporation
