Unless I can track down a copy of Soundhog's Mashup album, that is.
Anyway, this list and the artwork next door was something I put together about five years ago as part of a mix CD I'd made for a friend.
You can see that I took the idea of putting together 100 records worth of rock history seriously--to a certain extent. Dig the Yes-antecedents disc, or the Metallica-influence one. Check out the No New York platter. Scholarly if I do say so myself.
Other shit, however, is just for laughs. Mudhoney, Mudvayne, ha! That cracks me up every time. And of course, the cover/theme.
Ah, but enough blowing of my own horn. Check it out, you should find it as thought-provoking--and as funny--as those other guys' lists.

Ah shit, seeing that one of these bands is fictional, a joke I wrote and Cerveza at least was in on.
Can you guess which one?
"Tonight on our stage -- Lonnie Donegan meets The Slits!"
That's probly my fave, altho the Sex Pistols/Hanson, Beatles/Herman's Hermits & Slipknot/Enya (& whoever I've already forgotten) are pretty funny too. Also Television/Refrigerator/Table.... There's just 2 many good 1's.... Don't know which 1's fictional. Holocaust? Probly not, right? I'm just revealing my ignorance...?
& did I miss something? Is the blonde your Significant Other? Please advise....
Hilarious, as always. BTW, I think your post on Fairport was probably your best serious writeup since that poem about Robert Johnson....
Tad -- The blonde is Britney Spears, and not, thank goodness, my significant other . . . .
Britney who?
I don't get it....
