These Go To 11

I get to pick the topic this week. Woot! And, this week's topic has a visual aid. For those of you who have seen This is Spinal Tap, you'll get it right away. For those who haven't, you'll still probably get it right away.



So, the topic is These Go To 11. Your top 5 should be songs that you simply can't turn up loud enough. You know. . . The songs that come on and you immediately reach for the volume knob.

It's Time! - Top 5 Friday

To refresh everyone's memory, Aaron's topic is as follows:

Must play songs when your girlfriend/boyfriend/person you are stalking/husband/favorite boy-band member/wife/crush is being a complete jerk (and possibly cheating on you)

I thoroughly enjoyed this weeks topic, and even have two songs from the same album. It was a risky move, but they are both just too good. And, if after listening to Bad Things you don't feel completely justified in any and all anger toward the world, you just ain't listening hard enough. :)

Topic This Week - Damn That Eversgerd

So, I usually put the topic in the title, but in true Eversgerd fashion the topic is so freakin' long it won't fit in the title. So, here it is verbatim. Take it for what you will.

Must play songs when your girlfriend/boyfriend/person you are stalking/husband/favorite boy-band member/wife/crush is being a complete jerk (and possibly cheating on you)

Okey Dokey.

Aaron already has a suggestion for next time. :) - This one was just dirty….what’s next, “5 songs about how your family is dysfunctional and how your two cousins once dated but didn’t know and now the family doesn’t acknowledge that it happened”

Thanks to Benjamin for this week's suggestion. I'm sure you are all sad to hear this, but I will probably not be able to contribute today.

Without further ado, the lists. Jayme has requested a parental advisory note for her list. Apparently, she's a gangsta rapper by night.
