Top 10 List -- A mixed list since I don't listen to enough new stuff
1) Ike Reilly Assassination -- We Belong To The Staggering Evening (The ABSOLUTE best unknow artist out there -- think Dylan/Springsteen/Strummer -- Angry Short Irishman from Chi-town with AMAZING songwriting skills.)
2) Amy Winehouse -- "Rehab"
3) Paul Weller -- Irving Plaza -- The Jam Night -- Opened with 12 Jam songs before he started playing other stuff -- The audience knew every word and were at time drowning the band out. It was unbelievable.
4) Hank William III "Straight To Hell" tour -- Flint, MI -- Took my mom to her first concert and bought a bunch of rounds for some motorcycle dudes to do a little body guard protection for her.
5) Rachel McCartney -- My favorite Harvard Square busker.
6) Atonement -- Never heard so many women weeping in a movie theater.
7) Pistons Vs Celtics -- Round One of what will be many great battles and the Eastern Conference Finals. Charlie and I can trade smack for a few years to come.
8) Detroit Red Wings -- The best run franchise in sports -- PERIOD.
9) Adrianna Lima -- Just plain yummy. Almost as yummy as my wife.
10) Labor Day Trip -- Charlotte, NC, Johnson City, TN, Nashville, TN, New Orleans, LA, Memphis, TN, Chicago, IL -- over 12 days and lots of driving..

Mitch's list violates many important rules of the 20 years of the Top 10 List... but since, if i am not mistaken, Mitch was one of the original list contributors, and i really don't care that much about the rules... his too-heavy-on-sports-references list will be posted. but i invite all of you to humiliate him with nasty comments.
Thanks Charlie. I promise to listen to more original music in 2008. Feel free to humiliate, but know that I will retaliate. Best wishes to everyone for happy holidays and a happy, healthy & prosperous new year.
