I bought u2, The Killers, and Franz Ferdinand.

And I rotate those in my CD player all the time. Good list, I guess. Something for everyone, maybe?

Aerosmith can go for a start. Then 'Alfie'...they think it was a patch on the Sonny Rollins theme? Dizee Rascal and Eminem can go on merit of being morons with compulsive spelling aversion. Slash Elton John because he's obnoxious. Scissor Sisters and Gwen Stefani show a singular lack of any obvious musical talent so it's the dustbin for them too as for Kayne West and Usher, they need to go onto the Top 100 nominations for public executions.

Surgery done, I don't mind the list. Could be worse.

even though I disagree about SS, you get my karma point of the day.

about the list...Antics and Funeral are both good calls
..and the entire list is just what you can expect from RS, i think
