Hijacking High Fidelity's Hijinks!

Okay, so I was just reading in a Squidoo lens (an ongoing list of over 180 things to blog about) that one thing you can always blog is a list. According to this lens, people just luuuurve lists. And yanno what? They're right. Why do you think High Fidelity (both the book - find it on amazon - and the movie, also on amazon) is so popular? Yes, it's the love story and the general humor and the fantastic soundtrack (or, in the case of the novel, the fantastic musical references and allusions) and of course, it's John motherfucking Cusack. However, perhaps above and beyond all that, it's the guys' ever-present top-five lists that draw you in and blow your mind. Top five side ones, track ones? Are you fucking kidding me? Do you know how many times I've tried to come up with my own version of that list that's half as good? Shiiiit. Anyway, following in the tradition of Rob, Dick, and Barry, I'm gonna hook ya up with with a few of MY top-five lists including, yup, you guessed it, my own top five side ones, track ones. *grins*
