I expected the Stone Roses to be running away with this one.

I'm pretty sure OPA grabbed that Choir from my Listmania since I didn't submit any entries for this. The Choir is just a band I grew up on and still like (their pre-2000 stuff anyway). As far as their Christianity is concerned, I don't care...for the most part it's not preachy or explicit enough to bother me. But yeah, I doubt they'll ever pop up on the all new morning after monger mix volume 8 or whatever. I'm sure you all have heard worse talked about here with greater publicity though.

I feel a little guilty choosing it over My Aim is True, but I can't lie.

I'm surprised that Nick Drake isn't doing better. I have a hunch that it's the second pick of just about everybody here.

My second pick would have to be Stone Roses. My 3rd would be silence.

Which is funny, because it was the last beer I drank, and my low income beer consumption recently has been Milwaukee's Best and Old Milwaukee.
