It's like the mix tape of memes.

You know, I haven't had a mix tape in ages. Maybe I should round people up and see if we can get something going, in these days of iTunes and easy CD burning. I miss mix tapes. You might hate them or love them, but they were a list of songs your friends loved and thought you'd like. There's something that's still very cool about that. Oh, and I loved the movie High Fidelity, so that might have something to do with it too. Anyway, without further ado....

Do all the CSI shows have intro songs by The Who?

[amanofhats.livejournal.com]

OH EM GEE THEY DO!

It's a theme! Aaiiee!

12. Favorite Ozzy Song: I hate Ozzy songs, sorry. When you loathe them all equally, there's not much to say.

<gasp> You wound me! (Though I admit I generally like his early work with Black Sabbath better.)

16. Favorite Depeche Mode song: "Enjoy the Silence"

That is a great song. Lacuna Coil does a fantastic cover of it, really good stuff.

And see, I like a lot of metal. I just don't like Ozzy. I can't explain it.

[metallian.livejournal.com]

Well, while I do like him, as metal acts go I must admit he's not near the top of my list. (Black Sabbath is, though.)

Despite the long-standing shout-out to Diary of a Madman on my LJ info page...

Three interesting facts about your choice for #30:
1) One Night In Bangkok is one of the songs from the musical Chess.
2) The music was written by Bjorn and Benny from ABBA, while the lyrics were written by Tim Rice, who did the lyrics for Phantom of the Opera
3) Murray Head is the older brother of Anthony Stewart Head, who played Giles in the TV version of Buffy/

Oh, I also 100% concur with your choices for 36 & 37 too :D
