Killing me softly was, meh, OK. Lauren Hill has a great voice to be sure, but the songs? :dunno: Oh, all IMHO of course.

It's all opinion, and my taste in music is pretty lame, so I'm only having fun. Killing Me Softly isn't the reason I like the Fugees, though. If the rest of that album was like that song they wouldn't top my list. But the rest of that album was great for different reasons.

I wasn't going to add Pink Floyd because I never got really deep into their stuff, but Comfortably Numb just came on a random playlist and now I think I'm going to have to make room for them.... maybe I'll bump Mozart :P

Yes?  I'd figure that my top 20 bands of all time would be bands that I still liked, not one that I listened to 20 years ago

No i completely agree with you there. I'm just suprised you would use GNR as the reason to disregard my list

I haven't seen them live, no.  Kept meaning to go to Rothbury but I guess I'm too late for that

I'm hoping to see Railroad Earth in Chicago this fall, but I think I'll be by myself because everyone else I know hates them (they're wrong)
