YOUR TOP 20!

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

I cant believe no one has made this thread yet! If they have, i apologise for my ignorance. The idea is everyone can post their top 20 songs/bands/films/books/destinations of all time right here. Give us an indication of what each other is like. You can do as few or as many of these lists on whatever subject you want.

Have fun

TOP 20 SONGS


20. Run Runaway by Slade
I'm not a huge heavy metal fan, but this song always gets me air guitaring. It's mindless and easy to sing and has some cool guitar solos. Wasn't it better in the '80s, when rock was mindless, and nobody pretended it WASN'T?

19. The Boys of Summer by Don Henley
What can I say? It's repetitive, but it isn't boring.

18. Back in Black by AC/DC
Those 3 chords have never sounded better. An all time great.

17. Standing on top of thw world by Van Halen
proof that Sammy Hagar COULD replace David Lee Roth

16. Authority Song by John Cougar Mellencamp
Parents hate this song (that's reason enough to love it)! It is a very cool rock song to play full blast in your bedroom and just wait for the neighbors to complain..

15. Party Hard- Andrew W.K.
Catchy tune, awsome guitar. first time I heard it couldn't get it out of my head. The same day I had to run the mile race and all I could htink about when I ran was this song!

14. Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard
Defintely the best song written by Def Leppard

13. Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2
Great tune, great lyrics... and it made me wonder just what the heck was happening in Northern Ireland

12. Rock and Roll All Night by KISS
You can't see it, but I'm making that devil horn sign as I'm typing this.

11. Free Bird by Lynryd Skynyrd
This song is just so epic and cool.

10. blinded by the light by ELO
Revved up like a deuce!

9. Enter Sandman by Metallica
Imagine having this as a bedtime song!

8. Taking Care of Business by BTO
everyday, everyway

7. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
This was the best and most famous song in the 90s in about 10 years people will listen to the song and say "HEY I KNOW THIS!" they will not remeber the bad name but they now the song!

6. More Than A Feeling by Boston
Is there anyone out there who DOESN'T like this? The first time I heard this, the blend of the guitar screaming out and the vocals being belted out almost made my brain explode.

5. Deams/Higher and Higher by Van Halen
Everything in this song from the singing to the instruments couldn't have been written more perfectly

4. Hotel California by The Eagles
A classic. Great mysterious lyrics and an awesome solo.

3. Born in the USA
I remember listening to this riding with my dad in his little Fiat X/19 when I was a little kid. Great SOng. Also an anti-patriotic song used by the Republican party as a patriotic theme. Go figure!

2. With or Without you
I truely believe this is U2 at their best. Great song.

1. Jump by Van Halen
The opening notes of this song always inspired me to crank the volume on my radio as loud as possible!

20. The Lion King
Yes the lion king. i know i know. it was many many years ago (96 i think?) but this is one movie that I"ll never forget, because well its The Lion King.

19. The Master of Disguise
This is one of those dumb funny movies. Overall OK

a man who turns into a green monster when he's angry, how can this not make top 20?

17. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Another funny movie

16. Day after tomorrow
Pretty interesting because this could actually happen, maybe.

15. Fahrenheit 9/11
this is for all of you Bush haters!

14. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
terminater

13. X-Men
The first and second ones were pretty good.

This movie is definitely different. very interesting to see how everything plays out.

11. 2 Fast 2 Furious
This is one of those movies where I think the sequel is better than the first, alot better. lots of good racing scenes

10. Spiderman 1 or 2
Both are really good movies. if you haven't seen one go see it!

9. Daredevil
I never thought a blind superhero would actually be worth watching. After all what could you do if your blind?! Well, just wait until you see this movie

8. Final Destination
Don't cheat death!

7. Fantastic Four
pretty Fantastic movie. The last fight at the end could have been better though.

6. The Lord of the Rings
even if you set aside your whole day to watch all 3 movies you probably still wouldn't finsh! maybe i'm exagerating a bit but they are a bit long. Worth it? maybe

Let's face it, you can't go wrong with James Bond.

[Hockeynutville]

Top 20 Movies:

1) Independence Day - Just a huge movie, so much effort, pretty feasible storyline, great battle scenes.

2) Shawshank Redemption - Awesome plot....just an insane ending and pretty good acting as well.

3) James Bond: Goldeneye - Without question, it was the best, lots of guns, explosions and hot chicks as always.

4) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Didn't care too much about the first two but this one definetly had a killer storyline.

5) Weekend at Bernie's - You know what....just go watch it. One of the funniest movies EVER.

6) Star Wars: Return of the Jedi - I was a Star Wars junkie growing up and I still say it's the best.

7) Terminator 2: Judgement Day - After I bought the DVD and have all the deleted scenes in it, makes soooo much freakin sense now.

8) Enemy at the Gates - I'm a world war 2 nutter, and this one about snipers simply owned.

9) James Bond: The Man With The Golden Gun - Same thing as Goldeneye but also had a kickass midget to boot!

10) Jurrasic Park 2: The Lost World - Ok, so it was King Kong under a different name, still lots of Dinosaurs owing a bunch of screaming humans.

11) Wayne's World - Ok, if I even have to explain why this movie kicks ass then you need to see a doctor.

12) Saving Private Ryan - The opening beach scene alone makes this movie awesome.

13) Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - Yeah, had the most killer fighting scenes of them all...and hell, the rise of Vader to add the exclamation point.

14) Rush Hour 2: Most movies with Jackie Chan own, but definetly the funniest.

15) Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan - Ok...I was a sci-fi nutter, not just Star Wars and this was hands down the best of the Star Trek movies. I mean Spock kicks the can of all things!

16) Kelly's Heroes - Another WW2 movie, parodies a few things here and there.

17) The Matrix Reloaded - More action and story than the first, less mind boggling BS than the Third.

18) Any of the Halloween Movies - Yeah, Michael Myers simply owns everyone in them all.

19) Apollo 13 - Good movie even if it was kinda sappy at times.

20) Slap Shot - What can I say? It's hockey and it's pretty damn funny.

* secretly trying to get an award and some money from the german govt. for promoting their country and telling the world how much their country kicks ass *


List of european countries that kick ass, it is understood that sweden kicks all the nations of the world's asses at the same time, so it's excluded from this list:

1. Germany (Rammstein and world cup and leather and *check above*)
2. Finland (perkele and vodka and salmiakki and saunas)

10. Austria (Vienna and Mozart and general coolness)
12. Monaco (casinooooo)
12. Liechtenstein (small place)
13. Italy (shaped like the boot we used to kick them out of the last european championship... still they gave us pizza, spaghetti carbonara and mafia bosses on film (the real dudes are scary))

20. Switzerland (the place where I put all the money I earn doing illegal stuff. ok I don't but if I had illegal money, I would put it in a swiss bank account)

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

Whats the UK doing above Ireland? The culture is worse, the people are nastier, the food is appalling, and the ASBOs are doled out. And the labour Govt. is just the tories under a disguise. Terrible.

[Gluuland]

Deutschland uber alles!!!

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

Jah! Noch ein Bier mein Frau!

[Alfonia]

hm yeah... suppose you might be right... I also apologize to the greeks for putting turkey above them and to all the belgians for putting the dutch above them and...

Three things from Ireland that kick the UK's ass anyday:

Shane MacGowans teeth
Hurling
Thin Lizzy

and many other things, every nation kicks ass really, Germany just kicks it a bit more that's all.

The british food I've had (mostly fish n' chips and roast beef really) have been good. England is one of the two countries on this earth I've been to, in which it is possible to get a decent breakfast. None of that little piece of bread and cup of coffee-thing that many other european nations seems to be in love with

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

Love. That is true. The fastest way to get saturated fat into your arteries IS through a good old fashioned English breakfast.

[Alfonia]

yeeah but it's good:D

what's a typical weekday breakfast for all you guys anyways?

for me it's usually around 4 sandwiches (can be as low as 2 but as high as 8) with ham or salami and tabasco, any chocolate i can find, 2 or so glasses of orange juice, yoghurt... though I looove the bacon and stuff but it seems like it's not that convenient on weekdays... too bad...

the worst thing about France is their breakfasts... it seems they take one tiny piece of white bread, then choose carefully from the 10 types of marmalade they have available, eat that little piece of bread with a tiiiiny glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee (and coffee as we all know only REALLY exists in Sweden and Finland ehm and maybe at starbucks, that's the saviour if you're abroad...)

[Gluuland]

me: a cereal..
or if ive been up all night....
an omlette and a caffinated beverage...

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

i absolutely hate french breakfast! Eurgh!

I usually eat, nay, always eat a cereal, and apple juice. The same every day for about the last 5 years. Give or take the occasional toast.

[Gluuland]

Ive had an English breakfast... Its even worse... Beans, sausage, and something else...

The English breakfast is one of the only good things to come out of the country (obviously all the rock bands, as a pre requisite)
