A couple weeks ago I found myself in one of those drinking sessions where you and your contingent sit around racking your brains for your top five everything…Movies…Music…Books…Etcetera, etcetera. This morning I watched High Fidelity and that too involved a lot of top fives. Go figure.

Considering that this is the reoccuring theme of my life at the moment, I might as well lay down the top five songs my wee MP3 player has been playing in a loop these past few weeks. And kids, if you still have Avril and ’em Jonas peaches hitting your stereo, there will come a time when you will feel the need to exorcise your playlist. Give me a jingle when you do.  

So here they are. Eppie, I hope this answers your question.

1. Goodbye Stranger by Supertramp

2. Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead

3. Driving Sideways by Aimee Mann

4. My Sharona by Knack – You can’t beat that scene in Reality Bites where they start dancing in the gas station. Classic.

5. All the Young Dudes by Mott the Hoople

Of course, this is subject to change depending on my mood. But, yes, if I were about to face the chair in this particular phase of my life, these are the last five songs I would want to hear.

Top five movies, books, etc. to come after a bout of serious deliberation.
