List O' Favorites

[Omniscient]

Well the one staple of MPSIMS is the "Whats your favorite.." type threads. I figger we could kill a dozen birds with one stone. Usually the fave threads get long and people list like 15 things and the entire thread becomes a big cluster fuck not worth reading. In that vein lets keep all the responses to a single choice. I know that will require some soul searching, but that makes it all worth while. Maybe I'm being an anal engineer here, but humor me. Lets see how many topics I can come up with.

All right, Doctor Jackson, just checking. You know, us Rush fans have to stick together. (Sorry, just read over in a thread about Geddy's whiny voice, and someone attempting to figure out why on earth anyone liked Rush.)

You're still in the will - you can have all the Rush albums/bootlegs.
