    whats with the old computer parts listing under your name as a signature?

    In fact, why do people do it at all? do they think their computers are worthy of solving the mysteries of SETI?

    Don't answer, its rhetorical, and off-topic.

    But I would love to know!

    ;)

    these aren't the *best*, in the same way that no others here are - it's all v subjective, but these ones all make me think 'Christ - if i could have written ONE song, this'd be it'.

    smartarses who point out that listing five such tunes defeats the sentiment can f*** right off. :D

    Rolling Stones - Gimme shelter
    Kinks - Waterloo sunset
    Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness
    Sex Pistols - Prety Vacant
    Blondie - Atomic

    Nick Cave - Into My Arms

    Not necessarily the best song ever written bu certainly one that I wish had been written by me.

    ten euro says some zealous mofo will say "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley (sic)

    This is hard.
    You couldn't possibly expect someone to pick one song. If I was forced at gunpoint, I'd have to say Revolution Blues by Neil Young, no ... Ambulance Blues.... no Revolution Blues... no ... Ambulance Blues.... no Revolution Blues... no ... Ambulance Blues.... no Revolution Blues...
    Also good:
    God Only Knows - The Beach Boys
    Shelter From The Storm - Bob Dylan


    PS [Spooks] - stairway????? You should be shot!! :)
