Top 20 is asking a bit much there SG. If you are looking for a lot of posts that is.

10 is more than enough. Even then you are struggling to get this bunch to type that much.

Well I don't know about placebo but the pixies have a song called "where is my mind?" on their surfer rosa album. Which I'm sure is better than any song placenta have ever written.
