"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine."
"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."
"Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto."
"Delay is preferable to error."
"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."
"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom."
"How much pain they have cost us, the evils which have never happened."
"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past."
"Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances."
"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have.�

- Thomas Jefferson

Apologies for the delayed response. Yes, I think we'd like to just list UYI 1 and 2 separately but there is a combined version http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_Your_Illusion and it appears on 17 lists, so we'll have to keep separate.

We've now merged the The Soul Cages entry - thanks for reporting.

Yesterday, I listened to Inspiration by William Hung. I wouldn't be surprised if it really WAS the worst album ever. Even the hip-hop style interludes go and can easily be beaten by the worst krunk rappers.

Plus, the cover of "Hotel California" will truly make you throw up.

Yeah, but in a way, they're intentionally bad, so I don't know as they count. Hung might not know how horrible they are, but I'm 100% positive his producers know and the albums are sold as novelty items by people looking for gag gifts.

I still think Inglourious Basterds should have won best screenplay. I can't expect it to take home all the awards I thought it deserved but it was the most well written movie of 2009.

Just played some of both Metroid Prime 1 and 3 today, music is amazing. The menu music for 3 is better than most songs I've heard from popular musicians

I know its awesome. My favorite is the music from the second one

Yeah, I was tired too. That is why I limited my choices to the 1950s. There were some good Doo Wop songs in other generations but they generally got lost among all the other more popular genres.

For example, Blue Moon-The Marcels-1961, Daddy's Home-Shep & the Limelites-1961, Those Oldies but Goodies (Remind Me of You)-Little Caesar & the Romans-1961, and Stay-Maurice Williams-1964 are all great 1960s Doo Wop but they get lost among all the other greater 1960s songs, e.g.:

Going to get Plastic Beach tomorrow Haven't read anything about it, seen the front cover, seen the song titles (apart from Stylo) or heard the single yet. Really looking forward to it

I won't scroll down encase anyone is saying anything about it I tried to do this with Journal For Plague Lovers. When I got home with that one I ended up looking at the CD case for an hour, too afraid to listen and just contemplating that I had Journal For Plague Lovers in front of me, wandering what it would be like to listen to it.
I spent all 2006 and 2007 waiting for the follow up to Demon Days, obsessively imagining what the follow up would sound like. Mid 2007 I discovered the Manic Street Preachers and went off the Gorillaz for a while.

Anyway before I carry on even more, I'll just say that I am really looking forward to tomorrow

Who is the definitive Hip-Hop artist of the last 10 years?
