    I could pick ten essential songs multiple times off the first five albums those 5 are that good. The only one song that would make one of the top ten from any of the other stuff would be I Need You Tonight the best song off Eliminator.

    Why stop at 10? You've got to list enough to get to Asleep in the Desert before it means anything.

    When you have no where to stand, you stand nowhere


    Just another pop culture, minute to minute, blog


    Dumbed down cliff notes. Like our National dialogue. So perfect. Just as Jann wanted. Kardashiany. American idol galore. Empty
