Huh. My observations:
- it was surprisingly easy to pick which one to underline as my fave.
- I took the liberty of italicizing the one[s] I hate the most. My God, Odia Coates was the fingernails on the Chalkboard of Life! If you don't remember her, then count your blessings!
- I also took the liberty of inventing a new category, neither bolded [like] nor struck-through [hate] -- it is plain [mneh].
- if you weren't counting, I actively like 15 of them and actively hate well over half of them. It takes something like this to help you remember what an utter wasteland music was before punk rock came along...
