Nice selection. Now, I'm going to blast N.W.A once more to let all these punk motherfuckers in my office know I mean BUSINESS when I say I'm leaving ON TIME today!

Hard to believe that given their longevity some of these guys aren't in the Hall of Fame already, isn't it? Is the Kraftwerk tune a Lance Armstrong reference? Have a great weekend.

By the way - Heart's "A Love Alive" is a major find for me. Thanks for including that one Sal - had never heard it and it's kind of my new (old) fave tune!

I could hear a band like the Foo Fighters doing a bigger-sized version of this...

I'm looking at this playlist thinking once again(annually it seems..lol)how the RRHOF is so far removed from being a RRHOF....Chic?...but kudos to Deep Purple,Rush and to a slightly lesser extent Heart..actually a larger extent...ps is that you Christine??....Jesus...out of the Monmouth Knitting Club for sure now....
