Y’all are showing a serious lack of dance pop and American Idols. Let’s see if I can fix that: 1. **[Josiah Leming](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josiah_Leming)** - You and I (oo! an American Idol [reject] first up!) 2. **[Infinite Monkeys](http://www.angelfire.com/in/hypnosonic/)** - Nylon (there may be other bands of this name, but this is the only real one - my Dad’s electronic experimental project he’s been doing for nearly 20 years. It’s amazing stuff). 3. **[Otis Lee Crenshaw](http://comedians.comedycentral.com/otis-lee-crenshaw)** - Texas not Tennessee 4. **White Zombie** - Welcome to Planet Motherfucker/Psychoholic Slag (surely no link required…) 5. **The Prodigy** - Mind Fields (wow, this takes me back) 6. **Kiss** - God Gave Rock And Roll To You II (from **the best movie soundtrack album of all time** - [Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_%26_Ted%27s_Bogus_Journey:_Music_from_the_Motion_Picture)) 7. **Oingo Boingo** - Just Another Day (this list is turning out much cooler than I really am) 8. **Moby** - Guitar Flute and String (Moby’s all right, but this is just boring) 9. **The Black Eyed Peas** - They Don’t Want Music (I’m not really a fan, to be honest) 10. **Beck** - Truckdrivin’ Neighbors Downstairs (Yellow Sweat). I think I OD’d on this album in the '90s. I can’t really listen to it anymore. Well, that was disappointing! OK, so I don’t have enough \*\*Adam Lambert \*\*to give it a fighting chance to come up randomly, but where’s the goddamn **Hanson**?! I have like 12 hours of Hanson on this friggin’ thing. There goes ALL my teenybop cred. Oh…4972 songs. Or at least “items,” which would include videos and multiple recordings of the same song (you can’t imagine how many versions of MMMBop can be found…) ---
