King Crimson is a great band. My seven would be any 7 Crimson song ever made, even the 80's Crimson. #1 "Cat Food". King Crimson history would be sick for LOCR. King Crimson is my life.

Jeff Woods: Wow. That's a bizarre life ;)

King Crimson "Cat Food" Lady Supermarket with an apple in her basket Knocks in the manager's door; Grooning to the muzak from a speaker in shoe rack Lays out her goods on the floor; Everything she's chosen is conveniently frozen. "Eat it and come back for more!" Lady Window Shopper with a new one in the hopper Whips up a chemical brew; Croaking to a neighbour while she polishes a sabre Knows how to flavour a stew. Never need to worry with a tin of 'Hurri Curri': "Poisoned especially for you!" No use to complain If you're caught out in the rain; Your mother's quite insane. Cat food cat food cat food again. Lady Yellow Stamper with a fillet in a hamper Dying to finish the course; Goodies for the table with a fable on the label Drowning in miracle sauce. Don't think I am that rude if I tell you that it's cat food, "Not even fit for a horse!"

Jeff Woods: OK, I won't argue.

I submitted three to The List: 'What You See is What You Get' by Stoney & Meatloaf (a little-known pre-Bat song by Meatloaf), 'My City Was Gone' by The Pretenders, and 'Wave of Sorrow' by U2. Good, non?

Jeff Woods: Tres bien. Cheers.

back when grunge was still unpopular and hair bands were fading, there was a hickup in the trends... funk and other grooves slipped in there. My favorite was Living Color. Thier Time's Up album still gets a regular turn in the car and players. It's no wonder since I thought they were the Zeppelin of the time, unfortunately it didn't work out as well for them. Solace of You, This is the Life, Under cover of Darkness...wide ranged genres and all put together seamlessly....come back boys...come back...there's easily seven timeless great tunes on this album, dare I say the whole f'n thing rocks !!! just my opinion, take it or leave it...but I suggest you take it. hehehe

Jeff Woods: Love Living Colour. Saw them play the Diamond (now the Phoenix, Toronto) and open for the Stones at Skydome. Cheers Jon.

1. Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio (a great behind the wheel song to crank up) 2. Gary Wright - Dream Weaver (same reason, love the drum riff) 3. Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine (for this one, a dark room and headphones) 4. The Who - Behind Blue Eyes (a desperate call to those that will listen) 5. Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love (well... to trip out on of course!) 6. Genesis - In the Air Tonight (ok, back behind the wheel, this time in a convertible [preferably a Porche] travelling along a coastal highway) 7. Led Zeppelin - Going to California (ANYTIME, ANYWHERE!)

Jeff Woods: thanks Brian.

I kept expecting Nada Surf to surface on the NME's list. Alas, no such luck. Shame. NPR has a nice live Nada Surf download with a bonus interview at the end. There is also a great live Ben Gibbard performance. The Black Keys too. In the mean time, you should be digging through the SLUMBERLAND RECORDS back catalog. There are some great forgotten gems. Check out ROCKETSHIP.

Jeff Woods: Nice tips! Than you. Black Keys are tremendous
