> [@pulykamell](#): > > **woodstockybird** - Damn, I knew there was some overlap in our musical tastes, but if I sat down and made a top 100, 85-90 of those bands would be on it. Which reminds me, I’d have to redact my Top 10 to bump off Sleater-Kinney to 11 and put XTC on there somewhere. Yeah, I love SK, but they can’t really match XTC for breadth. We should do some CD trades some time. I’m sure we’ve each got stuff the other’s not familiar with. ---
