[stphone]

i came in around 2005, so i missed out on a lot of the older generation sombs (wt, destro, bhickman golden years, etc). that said, here's my list. 40. st. park 39. jigga 38. duff 37. nick 36. saskadelphia 35. avec 34. mitchell 33. useless rocker 32. efrim 31. john the cool kid 30. elco 29. bgwaves 28. james d. 27. sickpup 26. i-c 25. elemno p.t. 24. bhickman 23. ryan 22. vurt 21. damo suzuki 20. scottpl 19. brent d 18. zero as a limit 17. waylon 16. slackmo 15. jamie madrox 14. rajexico 13. midnight vulture 12. pinkerton 11. gil scott heroin 10. chrono 09. elastico 08. castana 07. feisty 06. deej 05. tpc 04. sausage 03. paves 02. undo 01. gdb

The ratings are somewhat arbitrary and unimportant, but these are a few of my favorite things. 1. Issachar/Izzy -- The best friend I've made on the board. He doesn't spend much time around here anymore and the board is worse for it. 2. Tweed -- A real gentleman and a great musician. If tweed posts, it's worth reading. 3. YellowGrrl -- The sweetheart of the rodeo! 4. EricMaloney -- We learned more from a 3-minute record than we ever learned in school. 5. Skippy -- Come on, what can you say about skippy? If it weren't for Jasmine, he'd be the sweetheard of the rodeo! 6. Elc -- The only person nicer than elc is his wife! Great guy, and incredibly generous with the tunes. 7. mouthbreather -- The keeper of the music side of the board. Time for lunch at Mr. A's, mb? 8. Bobzilla -- Okay, the other keeper of the music side. I wish I was half as cool as this guy! 9. Maztrax -- not a big poster, but a great guy and band leader. Incredibly generous with his time/ideas when I first started booking shows for my son's band. 10. ladytron: the tv series -- aka Lady Thunderhoss. 11. Ryan -- perhaps the funniest SOMBie ever. 12. Voodoodaddy -- he's gone quiet lately, but another great guy. If you don't have his "Know Your Product" mix, you're missing out. 13. SkinnyHips -- In many ways, the heart and soul of the board. 14. Yancy -- Other than his terrible taste in shoes ... 15. Freddie Freelance -- In addition to being a great boarder, the biggest supporter of SOMB musicians. 16. TJENZ -- Although it can't be proven, I think he buried Hickman under the 50 yard line at the new Soldier Field. 17. Sin City -- All these new, would-be smart asses on the board should really spend some time with this guy. They might learn something. 18. Jimmy TKB -- My rockabilly brother! 19. Trails/Rob Gordon -- Rob brought some fresh life to the board at a time it really needed it. You don't have any siblings, do you? 20. Simakos/Slackmo -- okay, if TJenz thinks elc and me are the same guy, can I claim the same for these two? Only kidding! 21. Elemeno P.T. -- Wonderful guy and host of more than one SOMB mix exchanges! 22. By-tor -- this guy is aces! Post more, would ya? 23. Saskadelphia -- You know, Sasky and I have different tastes in music, but I still find it worthwhile to read what he has to to say even if I don't like the music! 24. theremin -- Lake County Unite! 25. rogermexico -- the man has great taste in music! 26. undo 27. Agrimorfee 28. Biggoofysmartass 29. Jess 30. CopyrightQ -- (I miss CQ) 31. bobandbob -- (I learned more about jazz from 2Xbob than anyone else. The SOMB's Professor of Music.) 32. Hewletts Daughter 33. Some Girl 34. Vivian Darkbloom 35. Sid Hussein Hartha 36. wakingrufus 37. birdistheword 38. Biggie McSmalls 39. lovevigilante 40. Binko 41. Damo Suzuki 42. kmac/without opinion 43. JennyPenny 44. BHickman -- Fuck you, BHickman! 45. Okcompinkerton/Sherriff Sam/cpl-593h EDIT: Shit, I'm already realizing I missed some. ... I'll be back to ammend/fix later.

this list is tough.... i think i'd be more biased to list the SOMBies i've met and/or know like HD, ladytron, forgo, theremin, andyroo, raj, jimmy, etc ...

[worrywort]

Paves will place 2 slots higher, because quoted The Good Dr Bill as "Utz" a couple of pages back.

Anybody who thinks they can make this without bias is a foolish fool. Just embrace it.

edit-props to norton for spelling out his opinion of each personality he's named.

[arkin]

j/k i can't believe anyone is taking this thread seriously, lol

So far the apathy towards it is pretty hilarious.

I mean, how the *fuck* is Red Lobster not on these lists?

good point. I was going to abstain from this yearbook signing...

[Simakos]

this is like high school...

[The Good Dr Bill]

whatever, i'd be fine if everyone took me off their list (though clearly i am a great and excellent boarder) i am just compeltely against a popularity contest, in any respect. shrug.

oh c'mon, like you're not as curious as the rest of us to see whether the board's mistress (Jess) and the board's princess (SG) have a chance against the board's Tina Fey for Top Femme honors
