[Fungo Squiggly]

1. Metallica
2. Ricky Nelson
3. The Beach Boys
4. The Grass Roots or CCR
5. Korn
6. Pink Floyd
7. The Four Seasons
8. The Association
9. Jay and the Americans
10. The Six Parts Seven or Explosions In The Sky...

That is one strange list. I can see 2-4 and 7-9 all being on the same list. But if you showed me those 7, I would never guess Metallica, Korn, and Pink Floyd would make up the rest of it.

My old man probably would put ELO, Moody Blues, and Booker T. and the MG's 1, 2, and 3. That fucker used to sing hoooold on tiiiiiight to your dreams every day, attempting to dance...
...at the same time.

Something about the overlap of rock music and classical orchestration really does it for me. "Hold on Tight" wouldn't get me dancing around the house, but I've been known to get liquored up and serenade people with "Mr. Blue Sky". Not pretty.
