TOP TEN LISTS:
   The Top Ten lists of other favorite bands have been fun but are
beginning to annoy a lot of subscribers. Let's try to curtail the thread.
If anyone wants to volunteer to accept top-ten lists and make them
available some other way (such as on the web somewhere), please step
forward. Or we could all post them to alt.music.ben-folds-five! Also,
please don't post comments to the list saying how annoyed you are with
the top-ten lists, as that would be off-topic. Thanks.

<<      but anyway, i got tickets and directions to summerstage and all
 that and im all good.  (cheers for the american auto association!!!)
 umm..i still would like to know though how long a set should we expect
 from bff, does anyone know?  and is there a good chance of saying hi to
 ben and the boys at this show?  cause i'd like to see them again and
 maybe print out some issues of the armchair or somthing..:)  i just hope
 that i dont drive 150 miles to get there and have them play for l >>
After the sessions at 54th street my buddy asaked ben about the show, he said
that they willpreform between 10and 13 songs. The truth is that the show
starts at 6 30 leaving alot of preformance time. Well see y'all there

Subject: really though 

i have to agree with the person who said they liked the top 10 lists. i love
seeing what other music people like instead of reading about why Ben is some
fucking genius because he said "franklin gosh darn mint." i mean, don't get
me wrong, i love BFF and Ben is really cool. so if you don't like the top ten
lists, don't read them! skim by them or unsubscribe. (hint hint, mr "ignorant
boy" snead) 
people will stop posting their lists in a few weeks anyway, and if you keep
on bitching about it, the end of the top ten lists will be very soon.......
