kaaaaaaaast!

there'd be no complaints from me if R Kelly dropped off the face of the world, though.

That genre thing makes just about no sense to me, because I have no idea what genre a lot of things would be in... what genre do they class Britney in? R&B? Or is everything up there without a category just counted as 'alternative'

wankers.

 

[Elvis Presley]

i have one of those.....

 

[zoney!]

i have one of those.....

Can I guess?

I know, I know, I know.......

[Elvis Presley]

[u2popmofo]

I have 2 on the 2003 list and 1 on the other list.

 

[bayernfc]

I have 2 of the 2003 list.... but i still don't get the big fuss over 50 Cent!!

 

[Bunbury]

but i still don't get the big fuss over 50 Cent!!

I think because he got shot twice as much as Tupac and lived to rap about it

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

I have four from the first list and one from the second list

 

[Flaming Friar Sr]

1 from 1 (c'play)
2 from 2 (alanis, santana)
