I've been a Top 5 List member for a couple of years, and I've never pimped them before, but today's list is really good.
The Top 20 Concert Lineups We'd Like to See19. Suicidal Tendencies/The Fall/Pavement/Wham!/Pulp
15. Red Hot Chili Peppers/Flaming Lips/Hole
10. Phish/Taco
7. Yes/No Doubt
If you are a member, you get the full 20, plus the also-rans, a rumination, and too much fun links. It is similar to creating new performers by linking several names, like Michael Jackson Brown.

Dear Jim,
Shameless promotion for a stupid website. I'm guessing you didn't write the list. I hope you didn't. Pavement is number 19 and No Doubt number 7? Give me a break. How did No Doubt even make the list?
2 - supatyp
"stupid website" - hahaha (yanni is right)
3 - mike
Because No Doubt is way better than Pavement, which is self referential, navel-gazing gobbleygook. I'll take Gwen's navel any day.
4 - Amber
If I had to see the Flaming Lips with two horrible bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Hole, I'd cry.
Who wrote that list? The "preview" of it makes me not even want to become a member.
P.s. No Doubt suck really bad.
5 - The Theory
red hot chili peppers isn't that bad... though I mainly know them from their radio single right now, "Can't Stop" or something. But that song is catchy as hell.
peace.

Wow, I know it is futile to explain humour to idiots. But I'm going to try.
The list is a bunch of band names which taken together are funny. Not ranking the bands, or any sort of hierarchy, not saying what groups are better than another.
Putting a bunch of band names together which make a funny. C'mon, do only idiots read this blog?
Jesus Jumped Up Christ On A Pogo Stick! And if that's not a band, it should be.

Jim, I thought the list was funny. Then again, I can read. And it might help that I'm familiar with TopFive.com.
In fact, I thought it was hilarious. Thanks!

Well, duh, but I still reserve the right to privilege No Doubt over Pavement, which band I wish someone would wham! over the head with a few big styxx made of metallica.
Oh, that was awful. I need new material.
9 - Jim Carruthers
Material?! Bill Laswell should spank your ass. Hard. And Funky.
Eric Cartman all over the place.
Who's your daddy?

I am also proud to brag that I got it without even reading the comments - #19 is stream-o-consciousness delicious. I would like to see the Doors perform The Wall with an encore of Coil's "Windowpane" and P-Funk's "Tear the Roof Off the Sucker"
11 - Freddie
You forgot Korn and the Black Eyed Peas, with Bread on the side (stage).

Jim,
No one is laughing, except for a few of you 40 year old tards. The jokes are lame. Mike- "No Doubt is better than Pavement". You have to be kidding me, well I guess the music doesn't matter to you, just the image.
13 - Eric Olsen
BAck to the fact that this is purely a WORD GAME, I'd like to see Muddy, Ethel and Crystal Waters play with Ocean, Lake, the Little River Band, and the Cruel Sea
14 - Phillip Winn
Wow, Ryan (yanni805) is both stupid and humorless! At least when I thought he was just a complete moron I had some sympathy for him.
15 - Jim Carruthers
This reminds me of the scene in "Hard Core Logo" (which has just been released on DVD, and you pricks in the States get the widescreen version, while we get screwed in Canada with the "formated for your teevee screen, loser" version). Anyways, the band are killing time in their van on the road making up band names. My fave is "MacArthur Parka".
Oh, and one which will fit into the Top Five list:
"Kathleen Turner Overdrive". I appeared on Reach for the Top in high school and won a Bachman Turner Overdrive album (their second one) and traded it for a Santana album. I may have been a bad Canadian, but I think I had better taste.

Well, there is the concert date with Wool and The Cardigans.

Well, there is the concert date with Wool and The Cardigans.
The Knitters are a late addition to the bill.
18 - Eric Olsen
How about Executive Slacks, the Shirts, the Plimsouls, Shoes, and Raincoats
19 - mike
The Beatles with Adam and the Ants
The Raspberries, with special guests Apples in Stereo, Strawberry Alarm Clock and Orange Juice
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes with U2
The Slits, opening for the Revolting C*cks

Phillip- You don't know me. Die.

Phillip- You don't know me. Die.
None of those are bands I know. Is this just the homegrown products of idiocy? Yep, I guess so. Teenage suicide, don't do it.

Wow lame comments. I think Yanni might have a point. It would be nice if this particular blog died.
23 - Phillip Winn
I do so love to disappoint first-time posters who can't be bothered to read or comprehend humor. So no, neither this blog nor this post shall die. Not while I'm around. :)
And since I want to stay on-topic, how about Styxx and the Stones? Wouldn
t hurt...

AC-DC/Michelle Shocked/Rage Against the Machine/Nirvana/Grateful Dead

Hey Mike, while you're on fruit, there's the Electric Prunes, Blind Melon, Peach, Blackberries, Cranberries, and Berry Gordy.
