Katie pointed me to Get Out's article on the top 50 valley songs of all time (http://www.getoutaz.com/music/070705schoolrock.shtml) today. Nice break from work. After all, it was my birthday.

Interesting read, some I agreed with, some I thought "what the fuck?". Well a lot. Flathead @ #37. I witnessed them at Yucca on my last night - not something I particularly want remember. Finally by CeCe Peniston @ #16? Totally familar when I read it, it having been a big hit...not something I associate with Phoenix.

Hitting #6, Hey Jealousy, my #1 without a doubt, I noticed the Meat Puppets just piffing it at #5, and how that would probably piss Doug off - who never seemed to care for the Puppets. It was cool less than 30 seconds later reaching #1 - Found Out About You, and had a chuckle that the Hopster kicked the Meat Puppets (and everyone else's) asses. In addition to #13 (Lost Horizons), #9 (My Guardian Angel - love it, but how it rates about Lost Horizons I don't know?!?!) and #6 (Hey Jealousy). It took a while to get down to Hopkin's penned tracks, but that's because they were at the right end.

It made my day to see Hopkins on the top. And that's the way it should be!
