Top 5 Lists

[tortoise]

Post your personal top 5 lists here. The category can be anything you want. Top 5 Conquistadors, Top 5 breakfast cereals, whatever--it's completely up to you. You can also discuss other people's lists here too, of course, but post one of your own while you're at it.

I'll start us out with my list of

Top 5 Hip Hop Albums of All Time
(in no particular order)

• Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
• A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
• Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
• Jurassic 5 - Quality Control
• DJ Shadow - Endtroducing...

(the last might be considered a stretch, as it's an instrumental disc, but it's definitely hip hop, and it's definitely a landmark)

I have dined upon 3 of your top 5 freakiest animals.

Well, actually it was sea cucumber, not sea slug, but let's not split hairs. It was actually quite delicious. You only consume these muscular strip thingies that line the bulbous body (I should write ad copy for the Sea Cucumber Advisory Board, yesno?).
