geez, surprised the hell out of me. I enjoyed it your list man

Thanks, Andy. What were you expecting me to name #1? I'm quite curious.

oh man, i dont know. the whole list was full of surprises for me.

Great work, Bob.

Lots of stuff I need to look in to. Your #1 just barely missed my top 20

Steve

I was a huge Hadyen fan in university, but I didn't pick this one up. Maybe I will give it a chance now. Great list, I have been looking forward to seeing your number one or awhile now.

Thanks, everyone! I appreciate all your kind words more than you could ever realize. I still think my list pales in comparison to Andy's, though. It's 30 bigger!!! When I was his age (18), the only thing I could do 50 of involved my bedroom, a joystick, and may or may not have included my Atari 2600.

Here's another note of thanks, FT. Enjoyed reading every work, and now have lots of new things to seek out. Your #1, by the way, started off at #15 on my list...but seems to be climbing every time I listen to it. And there's no ultra-creepy songs on it like the one about the mother drowning her kids.

Thanks FT. I really enjoyed this little ride you've taken us on.

But yours was so much more dramatic. haha. Happy new year.
