OT-Top Fives

Submitted by ijohnb on
Being tired of constant repetitive Michigan talk and needing a break, I proposed a topic, top fives, 1990s and later bands and movies, (eighties and before content for musicians considered but not decisive), let me hear it, "that is bullshit," "that band sucks," etc. I just want some other takes, what do you thing. Band: 5. Red Hot Chili Peppers; Truly confusing, one or two albums that are beyond reproach and a couple of other albums that are nearly unlisntenable, but about 6-8 tops tens cannot be ignored. 4. Dr. Dre; If you include his actual albums with is productions, you will be hard pressed to find a more influential mucisian around, love it or hate it. 3. Incubus; Immediately, go to I Miss You, Love Hearts, or Stand BY Me Cover Live, if you have heard that this band is a joke, you have heard wrong, staying power, top 5 album every two years and rediculous in concert; 2. Dave Matthews Band; If you think the early stuff is bullshit, go get the Gru Grux King, the best rock album in years beginning to end and perhaps the most marketability of any band post-90s. Doubters and haters, this band does not suck, listen before you judge, start with "Live in Boulder" 1. Coldplay; this band has the most to offer since U2, incredible front man, awesome live spectacle, all around the best band around these day hands down. (Damns shame about Jeff Buckley, would probably have a different #1) Movies: 5. Mystic River; This movie goes to some dark places, maybe the kind of movie you don't want to see mutiple times, but you can't deny the impact and the performance, Easttwood got my attention, that is for sure. 4. Saving Private Ryan: Is it a little pro-america in the propoganda sense, but at 30 right now, this moive changed my life. There is real evil in this world, it doesn't bare a name or uniform, but it is there, I know that thanks to this movie. 3, The Silence of the Lambs: I have only been truly scared one time in the history of film, perhaps fourteen years old was a little early for this screening. Jon Demme, you are one sick fuck. 2. A River Runs Through It; Do you have brothers, do you have a father? This movie is close to perfect. 1. 25th Hour; music brings this movie together in a way previously unattained. INCREDIBLE cast with one of the best screenplays ever written, the last ten minutes is better than every full length movie on this list. Opine...

I am a big Chilli Peppers fan, and even though they have won 7 Grammys, I could never include them in any top five lists for the simple reason that Anthony Kiedis simply cannot sing on key on his own. His singing is "corrected."
