	And I'm guessing the cover of this issue is Hilary Duff wearing low-rise pants and a bra top with her legs spread? What better way to follow "America's Favorite Fantasy!" And agreed on Frank Black's deserving to be on the list. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Umm...actually, this week's cover is Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. For real. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I know, I stoled it. ._. But the 7000 comments on it are what pushed it over the line and made it officially wankable. ^^ (Reply to this)(Parent)

Man, every time some magazine rolls out an article about 'best of' or 'worst of' or 'who's who' or something, there's always wank. PoE-news exploded into wank when Blender magazine named the Insane Clown Posse the worst band ever... and then someone posted the complete list of 'worst of' and wank exploded about the Doors being on the list. I had to leave at that point, I'm not too much a fan of bukkake. ::snrk::

In the end, everyone agrees that the list sucks and that the author(s) should be shot.

The circle of wank is complete. I feel at peace.

Funny enough, said article pretty much names almost all my favorite guitarists, even if I disagree with where they are. OMG! IM TEH CHILDE OF TEH CULT-CHURE!11

	Would it qualify as wank if I finally admit that I loathe the fucking Doors? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I don't think so. I mean, it shouldn't be wanky to hate/despise/loathe/MURDERDETHKILL something. I despise broccoli, and if that makes me wanky... well, I masturbate more than anyone else on the planet! Now, if you start running to Doors BBSes and start waving your cock around, then we might have a problem. ^_~

I myself think Morrison's kind of cute, in that waif-need-to-get-something-to-eat way, and the music is okay, if overly repetitive, but I don't see the need to a blow up a country over it. ::snrk::

	Oh, total word. The way I see it is: Okay, Morrison, you've got high cheekbones and nice hair and your voice might be okay if you quit guzzling booze, but do you have to say you're a poet? I mean, really? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sagralisse 2003-09-09 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	It's not that it's poetry. It's that he took lots of drugs and sang about it. Now if you listen to the music, you get an idea of what it's like to be fucked out of your head without having to take any dangerous drugs yourself. IMO it's very convenient. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	That's it. After I pass my constitutional amendment to completely ban the music of Sumblime from the radio FOREVER, I'm gonna pass one that says that no one can nominate ANYONE or ANYTHING for a "Best Of..." list that came out in the past...oh, 5 years. Gives some perspective. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Whoa, that melted my brain quickly. No one wanks like wannabe guitar snobs, blech. I don't read that tripe magazine, but I'd bet none of my favorite guitarists are on it, because I don't choose favorites on the basis of technical proficiency or virtuosity. Because I'm not kewl enough, and I'm just a dumb girl. (insert fehmuhnist male-domination rant here.) In any case, Top (Number) ranking lists are inherently asking for trouble.

Lurky McLurker here, fandom spectator without a hardcore fandom in which to hang my hat. I'm just endlessly curious and amused. ('unbridled' on LJ)

Personally, I thought Lou Reed should have rated higher, but I'm biased *g*

And I'm shocked that they put Mick Ronson on at all - not because I don't think he's mega-talented, but because well, if people're gonna wank about Cobain...

I have to say I pretty much agree with the top ten except that I've never heard of Robert Johnson - and I would really put Keith Richards higher (but again, I'm biased ;))

However, to wank about it? Very wanky!
