Then you and I have no disagreement, my dear sir.

How you amuse me.

Classic Rock.

There is nothing to compare with the Yardbirds and the resulting bands (Cream, Led Zeppelin, Beck, among a plethora of others), Steppenwolf, Yes, Pink Floyd, etc.

Plus the startled look on older people's faces when they realize the very feminine, 20 year old secretary they like calling "Bunny" knows all the words to songs that were cool before she was born, and has a more-than-half-decent voice, is priceless.

The Smiths

There is no better thing to wake up to than 'Cemetary Gates' or 'Shelia Take a Bow', or to get you out of the blues than 'That joke Isn't Funny Anymore', because there will always be someone who has more right to complain than you.
It always reminds me of the lamenting of Frodo and Gandalf giving him a good lesson in existalist philosophy. Or that of Bilbo.

Anyways, the ability of hobbits to take life as it's served and lament so beautifully upon it gives me reason to say that The Smiths deserve to be held up in Shire worth praise.

Thank you Moz and Marr.

What, not Genesis?

And I assign all the music I likes, including that weird and wonderful early Genesis and the fabulous lyrics of Morrissey ("punctured bicycle, on a hillside, desolate...."). Marvellous.

Elempi, please note the et cetera, which denotes all the bands I listen to, but couldn't remember the names of. And I'm going to have to check to see if I've heard of Genesis.

Nope.

But I will add Eagles, Chicago, and Queen. And Supertramp. (Mostly for the Logical Song and the lyric "You know they've gotta have them in Texas/'Cause everyone's a millionaire"

...and this is going to sound very strange.

But I assign having glasses. The world is so...clear. And I hadn't even noticed how fuzzy it had been getting.
