Bits and pieces

Thanks to The Black Table for linking up with this list of the 50 best song parts of all time. The list is actually a piece of shit (it includes Lionel Ritchie AND Phil Collins), but it's fun to read the list, disregard it, and then start thinking up your own. As Sugar D and I were discussing on Saturday, Ringo's metronome-perfect drum solo near the end of "The End" is a great moment. I'd also like to mention Joey Ramone yelling "Third verse/Diff'rent from the fist!" in "Judy is a Punk." By the way, the list also provided a link to a whole new universe of Led Zeppelin/cute kitty/Viking warrior appreciation. "The Immigrant Song" never sounded so good.
