Great lists! I can't let a thread like this go by without responding, but it's gonna take some time (I feel like JoJo the idiot circus boy too!)

Blir - Very consistent with your top 10 - I like the consistency
Wolverine - Gates of Steel - excellent choice for #1!
Marie - Din Daa Daa - great one. You must have spent some time in the clubs! Do you remember Strafe - Set it Off? I had a team of people helping me track this one down in the "Help me identify this" section.

Seems like Fade to Gray is getting lots of respect. Good to see. Woman whispering French = sensuous... shhha-wing!

I'd like to contribute, but I probably won't finish my list until Saturday, if you can wait that long. If you can't wait until then, I understand. (I'm such a procrastinator. [:)])

I will contribute my list, too. But I will be travelling for 4 more days. I can't rely on memory alone, I need my music files. Wait just a bit longer, if you can.

P.S. Great lists so far guys!
