What was the first record you owned? Probably Low Budget by The Kinks

Is there a song that reminds you most of your childhood? "Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie. I knew all the words by the time I was six.

If your life was a movie, what song would play over the following:
Opening credits: "Unforgiven" by Metallica
Love Scene: "High Enough" by The Damn Yankees
Driving scene that consists mostly of flashbacks and love lost: either "Tangled Up in Blue" by Bob Dylan, or "Black-Throated Wind" by Bob Weir.
Closing credits: "The End of the World as we Know It (and I Feel Fine)" by REM

If applicable, name a song or concert that moved you to tears: The 1986 Welcome back Jerry concert by the Grateful Dead in Oakland. Jerry was just back from a coma, and we were on our feet cheering. When they played "Candyman" and Jerry sang "hand me my old guitar/pass the whisky 'round/won't you tell, everybody you meet/that the Candyman's in town" I just lost it.

Name an album that is perfect all the way through - no filler, no bad stuff: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon.

Music you like that could be considered a guilty pleasure: Sousa maybe?

If your music collection was about to go up in flames, which 5 CDs would you save?
1. Metallica - Garage, Inc.
2. The Who - Quadrophenia
3. The Grateful Dead - Dick's Picks Volume 6, Hartford Civic Center 10/14/83
4. Tom Smith - Tom Smith and his Digital Acoustic Compilation
5. Moxy Fruvous - Live Noise

Is there a song that describes you or a situation so well that you could have written it? "I'm Free" by The Who (written by Peter Townshend)

Which underrated artist deserves more attention? Tool.

Has a song or artist changed your life in any way? If so, how?. The Dead, by opening my eyes to what actual musicians could do, and introducing me to a culture where rebellion was the norm.

What is your favourite soundtrack? The Phantom of the Opera.

What is your all time favourite music video? "Everybody Hurts" - REM

Current favourite radio hit: Counting Crows cover of "Big Yellow Taxi".
