Beefy and Gamp will be happy to hear that we've added Spoon to the list.

Oh, and I forgot to add The Tragically Hip.

Some of my daughter's music choices make me want to stab myself in the eardrums with a spork.

We added some CAKE and Will Smith and some other stuff.  I don't know why he gets so excited by Will Smith in the Fresh Prince days.

I've trained him well.  I could pick up his mp3 player and take it on a trip with me and be quite content with the selection.

The Vapors?  Hopefully it's not just "Turning Japanese"....  Their second album was their best.

And now that's in my head.   >:(

Throw some Zappa on there, maybe a little Floyd.  :)

Magnets, Jimmie Jones, Silver Machines and Civic Hall were much better songs.  Not as mind-numbingly catchy as "Turning Japanese", so that album got buried.
