2. As I mentioned and Mark (Cummins) better articulated, my age has impacted me. I think I understand, better than ever before, why my parents (or anyone their age) could never have loved Radiohead as much as me. So much of the magic of pop music is wrapped up in youth and its emotions.
3. As I mentioned and Mark (Cichra) better articulated, Kings of Leon?? Really? That's where we landed???

Marlo Stanfield? Really? He would rank much lower for me (if I made such a list). I've always loved Stringer Bell and Bunny Colvin.
Other than that, great list. Thanks.
Marlo, for sure. Though there are numerous candidates (Stringer and Colvin for sure... maybe Omar, maybe Prez, maybe Lester... maybe even D'Angelo).
I would explain why Marlo's my favorite character, but it would give away way too much plot for anyone who hasn't seen all five seasons.
I'll do it over a drink if you're ever in NYC.
Explosions in the Sky - nice. They came close to making the cut. Though my prediction for your state of mind in the last ten years, based on this, Radiohead, and Sigur Ros, is that you should probably get out and get some fresh air. ZANG!
Is it wrong that I can't remember who Franklin is on AD?
Just had to say that I love that Franklin got a shout.
The Grey Album number two -- love it. How lucky are we to be alive in the era of Jay-Z. Similarly I loved Rolling Stone's feature from August of the great "icons" of the decade -- Kanye, MIA, Jack White, Beyonce, Radiohead -- what's not to love in that lineup?
