Top Five List(s) - Nubblies.net Forums

Alpha · 08-14-2003, 02:50 AM

After having a good and lengthy conversation with my friend Fruitacious, I decided to post this idea which has been brewing in my head for a while... If you've ever seen High Fidelity you'd know about the "game" the workers at the record store play. Each of them randomly comes up with a Top Five Catagory, and then they list of what their answers are. This is such a good idea and we had a good time with it tonight, so i figure what the fuck? Might as well try to bring it to Nubblies.

Rules kinda have to be set, so i figure, after a full day of posting to the topic, anyone is free to list a catagory. It could be anything from top five songs of all time, to something like top 5 world leaders ever. Try not to list something without some explination, it'd be terrible not to. ANyone like this idea? I hope so, i feel it has massive potential.

List #1:
What are your top five songs to put on a CD pertaining to love or deeply caring for someone?

1. The June Spirit - On the 8th Day this song is beautiful, and the lyrics make perfect sense when I'm near a person a feel deeply for
2. The Beatles - I Wanna Hold Your Hand this song shows the innocence of love
3. Our Lady Peace - 4am shows what happens when you neglect to tell someone how much they mean to you whenever you get the chance
4. The Juliana Theory - Duane Joseph great song that shows how great it is to be with people you care about
5. Guster - So Long I feel this song sums up what it feels like to let go

I really hope that this idea takes off because just coming up with that list was fun as hell and utilized a shitload of time I would normally be spending scratching my ass.

Fucking Brilliant indeed it was Alpha. The rules seem decent, as long as people participate this should be one of our best accomplishments. Brilliant.

1. Dashboard Confessional - Living in Your Letters. This just applies so well to some recent feelings I had. Most of these picks are based from recent happenings.

2. Jimmy Eat World - Get It Faster Jimmy is tradition, I love this band. Bleed American might as well be called "Fruit's Life".

3. Jimmy Eat World - If you don't. don't Wow, all I can say, applies more than I can still believe.

4. The Junior Varsity - Say Goodnight Same explanation as the others.

5. Yellowcard - Rough Draft I'm so proud of this list that it's too hard to explain why each of these songs mean so much to me.

Not to be a btich, but the entire point of the "This and That" forum (at least to me) is to start individual topics on different top fives lists, not to try and heard them all into one thread.

We've had numerous top 5 lists in the TOT. Let's not get different ones jumbled into one thread...

Good idea though.

Fruitacious B · 08-14-2003, 03:48 AM

Good point Pliedes, but that would be a lot of fucking lists that could end up spinning off.

Alpha · 08-14-2003, 03:49 AM

I just figured if you put them in one thread it would make a lot more sense. Because it would make it much more popular of an item and also the this and that section wouldn't be flooded with lists. Just one basic list post... if that makes any sense at all?

If you have a good idea, just start lots of different threads....

Oh, and High Fidelity is a great movie.

I'd have to agree with Pliedes, I don't like the idea of hearding or herding all of these lists together.

Titan · 08-14-2003, 04:15 AM

Of course, in a perfect world, you'd realize no one gives a fuck what you think.

Jesus Chrystler · 08-14-2003, 05:01 AM

Titan, ugly words... we don't need these. Holding a grudge against me is no way to go through life.

I've been playing this game since mid-October, where have you been?
