I'm resurrecting the classic Top 5 thread, which was a real hit about a year ago or something like that. The way it works is that someone posts a "Top 5 _____" list, whatever they want it to be, and then they make another category. The next poster has to fill out that category and then they make another, and so on like that. Not too hard but some people almost ruined it by being retarded.

Don't post if you can't fill out the category! Just wait until another one pops up that you can fill out.

So here's the inaugural category (which I was going to make for its own thread but I might as well throw it all away on a broader topic like this):

Top 5 Non-Prog Songs Over Ten Minutes Long:

1. Led Zeppelin- Achilles Last Stand
2. Television- Marquee Moon
3. Funkadelic- Maggot Brain
4. Weird Al Yankovic- Albuquerque
5. Iron Maiden- Rime of the Ancient Mariner

...so yeah, that's what I thought of. Now the list for YOU (the first poster) to fill out shall be... Top 5 Piano Intros

Simple! So do it!

Top Five Disappointing Sophmore Albums:

I'll just post the bands since they can only have one sophmore album.

1. Stone Roses? I think that was the one that failed notably.
2. Guns N Roses
3. Pantera
4. Korn
5. Puddle of Mudd

I eventually just listed bands who got increasingly worse after every album, so I assume that their 2nd album was what started it.

4. The Sex Pistols: selling the American punk craze to disaffected British youth.
