The real ripoff in "Come As You Are" is the bass line, taken right from "Living in the '80s" by Killing Joke. I like to think it was Nirvana's middle-finger to those who embraced the song without realizing it wasn't meant to celebrate the Reagan era.

I want some taquitos.

I just like to hear the highly dramatic ending of "Over the Hills" followed by Bonham's faux funk shuffle. Reigns in the pretension. I also like to hear the ridiculous "Where's that confounded bridge?" followed by the sledgehammer opening to "Dancing Days." As for "D'Yer Mak'er," that song tries to have it both ways -…

"The Crunge" is to Houses is what "Koka Kola" is to London Calling - a light respite that adds a human dimension to the album without diminishing the more substantial songs.

You might enjoy her in Roger Corman's "Masque of Red Death," which she filmed at about the same time as "The Fear." She plays the Satan-worshiping consort of Vincent Price's Prince Prospero. I can't get the http address, but if you search for Hazel Court/Masque of Red Death/Bringer of Death on YouTube you can see her…

A great, comprehensive list. Just want to suggest a few more mentions:

The concept of the episode is great - woe unto those who steal music out of greed, for they will be damned to live out their doom over and over again. It's like a medieval story carried into the present by Appalachian settlers. But it's not fleshed out enough to be effective. I think it would have made a great hour…

Dawes hasn't mastered the art of turning mediocrity into millions. I'm sure they'll make the list someday soon.

Nickleback, Shia Labeouf, Mariah Carey, Michael Bay, Blink 182, John Mayer, Dan Brown, Katy Perry, James Franco, Jay Leno … so many to follow.

Lauren, Bogie and Joe are passing a joint in a heavenly car jam.

From what I've read (including the bio written by his daughter) Serling enjoyed an idyllic family life and many lasting friendships. If he did have personal problems in '63-'64 they must not have been that severe. On the other hand I think he felt that television executives were treating him like a hapless punching…

I would argue Season 5 has the strongest start of any … "Pip," "Steel," "Living Doll," "Nightmare." After that, it's very hit or miss. But there's still "The Masks," "Night Call," "Number 12 Looks Just Like You," and a few others. I always thought the final straw was CBS changing producers for the third time in one…

Just want to call out Joe Mantell's great performance as Joe. Very convincing as someone who has known, and suffered with, Kelly long enough to question his persistence while being enough of a friend to help pick up the pieces when another scheme falls apart.

Definitely a more colorful choice, but too high end. There seems to be a dress code, and I see no bangers and mash being served.

I'd enjoy a Coke and some pinball at the mods' cafe of choice in "Quadrophenia."

Completely agree. In 25 years of reading Ellroy's books, I've almost always found his ideas and characters far more nuanced than his interviews would suggest. So, I think fans take his schpiel with a grain of salt.

No; that was all Ringo. In fact, I think he's the best - or at least most consistent - musician on that album. Although George Martin had little involvement in Let It Be he saw enough to dub Ringo the hero of that project. The others were too self-focused, cranky and/or bored.

I think a line memorably played qualifies as a solo, hence my inclusion of "I Can See for Miles." That solo is Townshend's friendly middle finger to his buddies Clapton and Hendrix.

I added some Zappa to my hastily compiled list. Although it was for "Down in De Dew" off the Lather album I also recommend "The Ocean's the Ultimate Solution" off "Sleep Dirt." Four minutes of acoustic intensity followed by 11 minutes of sublime electric guitar freakery.

Here are some of my faves in no particular order:
