Well first off probably anything by Pink Floyd, Queen, Yes, Bad Company and Rush will probably make me stop immediately...umm damn that would take me a lotta time to think of some shit right off the bat...and then narrowing it down to 10 would be hard too.

Asta!!

You actually have a radio station that plays Bloodletting? I envy you. The only Concrete Blonde song I've ever heard on the radio was "joey" during some stations "90s flashback lunch."

Actually, it seems like lots of you must have cool stations. Their is no station within 100 miles of me that will play Fugazi's Waiting Room.
