List-o-Mania

I was not able to post all of the Top 5 List submissions. The response was so overwhelming that I just don’t know what to say. (Heh. Vance without words? Not a chance. I know dozens of ‘em.)

Anyways, I couldn’t post them all because there weren’t any.

Not one.

Maybe you are all thoughtfully considering your lists, and want to fine-tune them before submitting them?

Maybe you are waiting to see if anyone else goes first?

Come on, Vast Readership! Stop procrastinating and get those lists in! Punch that “Comments” button. We are collectively on the edge of our seats waiting to see what you got.

Whoa! You're kidding, right Vance? Not one list submitted? I can't believe it! What's wrong with your Vast Readership? Do they think this is a free ride?

Here's my list:

Top 5 Blogs
1. What Do You Mean, Mace?
5. DJ's whatever

Keep up the good work!

Your most loyal reader from your Vast Readership

Thanks for your observations, MLRFYVR.

I also appreciate the list. It shows a discerning, thoughtful, and intelligent take on the world.

Be sure to make more discerning, thoughtful, and intelligent submissions and comments!

Mr. Vance,
Thank you for requesting my Top Five List of Supernatural Movies. My requirements are that they are eerie/creepy, are NOT slasher/gore-fest films, rarely rely on "jump out of your seat" scares, and aren't comedies. Also note that, invariably, I've listed the original. I've never seen a good remake (such as the 1999 version of The Haunting which really sucked big time). Here they are:

1. The Haunting (1963)
2. Changeling (1980)
3. The Innocents (1961)
4. The Others (2002)
5. The Wicker Man (1973)
6. The Sixth Sense (1999)
7. The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
8. Carnival of Souls (1962)
9. The Gift (2000)
10. Rosemary's Baby (1968)
11. The Uninvited (1944)
12. The Birds (1963)
13. What Lies Beneath (2000)
14. Stir of Echoes (1999)
15. Kwaidan (1964)
16. Haunted (1995)
17. The Dead Zone (1983)
18. Island of Lost Souls (1933)
19. Nosferatu (1929)
20. Blair Witch Project (1999)
21. The Skeleton Key (2005)
22. Repulsion (1965)
23. Cat People (1942)
24. The Village (2004)

Wow. A Top 5 with only five entries. This member of my VR is not only discerning, intelligent, and thoughtful, but decisive, to boot. I'll bet they're even ranked in order!

Kudos, anonymous member of the VR!!

Vance, yes I followed your instructions regarding the T5 Live Blues recordings with the exception of the ordering. To actually order the list would result in me never posting a list.

Now here is another T5 which is mostly ordered. #1 is absolute.

T5 Live Rock Recordings

1. The Who Live at Leeds
2. The Allman Brothers Band At the Fillmore East
3. Little Feat Waiting for Columbus
4. Neil Young and Crazy Horse Live at the Fillmore East
5. Elvis Costello and the Attractions Live at the El Mocambo

Sawad,
Wait a minute! I gave no instructions. This forum was meant to free us all from limitations. Post your lists willy-nilly. Prioritized, ranked, ordered, or not: it's all kew.
But thanks for the list. I've got to give them all a listen, esp. EC&tA at El Mocambo.
