That was hilarious. Especially the wall keyboard. What an awesomely bad video.
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

A couple of weeks ago, we were are a pub before a Bruins game, and this song came on. (They were cranking great tunes!), and I said to my wife, "remember the video? Them on a dock acting all cool and shit looking like fools?"  :lol




As for the poll, tough choice.

I'm torn between #3 Rush/GnR/Aerosmith and #5 Whitesnake/U2/AC/DC
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Wow...

Category 1:  RTTH is really good, but it's a bit overplayed and overrated.  Panama is bleh, and Sister Christian is meh.

Category 2:  All really good songs.

Category 3:  The best song in the poll (Tom Sawyer) grouped with the two worst.

Category 4:  Separate Ways is really good; the other two are just ok.

Category 5:  SOTN is really good.  U2 blows, and YSMANL is just meh.

Category 2 it is.

I can't even find a trio where I really like all three of them :D
Plus, I don't know the two songs by Def Leppard and Blue Oyster Cult, and I can't in good conscience vote for an option, when another option includes Africa.
