This is why I was going to go with 10. I caved to peer pressure.

Well I suggested five when I thought you were doing it in S&S. But 5 makes you think it through more. Luper over, say, Cheap Trick; Metallica over Anthrax, who I prefer, but at the time had less impact on me. Rumors over most classic rock. Things to ponder.

Ruby Vroom - Soul Coughing
A Hard Day’s Night & Help! - The Beatles

Love these, and especially Soul Coughing. Don't hear much about them.

I have a brushing history with Nirvana, from their Portland days, but I was never a huge fan. But that Unplugged album was inspired. My favorite story was when they were recording it, the band was not doing well together. And Kurt kept complaining the drums were too loud, which they probably were for that studio. And Dave was getting more and more upset as he tried to play quieter and quieter, but it was still too much for Kurt. They were on the edge of canceling, or Dave just walking, when a stagehand gave Grohl a pair of brushes. He had never played with them before, and so it never occurred to him. And they were perfect, and it was the best of that MTV series, bar none. So that nameless stagehand saved that album. (Long live us, the nameless crew!)
