Gimme Five (a fun, stress-free thread I hope)

Branson would like a word. But still a good list.

 

Too 5 Spinal Tap Drummers
5. Mick Shrimpton
4. Stumpy Pepys
3. Joe “Mama” Besser
2. Stumpy Joe
1. Greg

 

Top 5 Spinal Tap Albums

1. Intravenus de Milo
2. The Gospel According to Spinal Tap
3. Spinal Tap Sings "(Listen to the) Flower People" and Other Favourites
4. Smell the Glove
5. Shark Sandwich

 

Top 5 Spinal Tap album reviews:

1. "Shit sandwich"



2-5. Everything else

 

The review of "The Gospel According to Spinal Tap" was pretty good too -- "This pretentious, ponderous group of rock psalms prompts the question 'On what day did God create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?'"

 

Top 5 Genesis drummers:

1) Phil Collins
2) Bill Bruford
3) Chester Thompson
4) John Mayhew
5) Nic Collins (supposedly will play at the shows that were scheduled for November and December prior to COVID-19 shutdown)

 

Top five Sam Mills rock bands

1. Genesis
2. I would say Exodus, but he can’t ever seem to get past 1.

 

1) Genesis
1) Rush
3) Earth, Wind & Fire
4) Stevie Wonder
5) Pink Floyd
6) John Williams
7) Chuck Mangione
8 ) Billy Joel
9) Elton John
10) James Taylor

Try a different box, please.

 

Jean Claude Van Damme
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
Sean Connery
Andrew Bynarski
Stompin Tom Connors

 

Barry Goldwater

Sandra Day O'Connor

Top 5 Chicago songs (all from Terry Kath era):
1. Feelin' Stronger Every Day
2. In the Country
3. Dialogue (parts 1 and 2)
4. Saturday in the Park
5. Liberation

So many to choose from here ... every song on CTA and Chicago II could make this list. Kath's playing on "In the Country" (and his singing, co-lead with Peter Cetera) make it the best song on their second album.

 

Nice.

Top 5 from Chicago - Kath-era:

1) "Does Anybody Know What Time It Is?"
2) "Beginnings"
3) "Just You 'N Me"
4) "Questions 67 & 68"
5) "Saturday in the Park"

Can't use "No Tell Lover" ... on first post-Kath album. Crrrrrrrap. But the perfect example of a band that went from the sh_t in the '70s to complete sh_t in the '80s. Kath's death and splitting with James William Guercio triggered an (ill-fated) change.
