whats with the old computer parts listing under your name as a signature?

In fact, why do people do it at all? do they think their computers are worthy of solving the mysteries of SETI?

Don't answer, its rhetorical, and off-topic.

But I would love to know!

these aren't the *best*, in the same way that no others here are - it's all v subjective, but these ones all make me think 'Christ - if i could have written ONE song, this'd be it'.

smartarses who point out that listing five such tunes defeats the sentiment can f*** right off.

Rolling Stones - Gimme shelter
Kinks - Waterloo sunset
Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness
Sex Pistols - Prety Vacant
Blondie - Atomic

Marq

Nick Cave - Into My Arms

Not necessarily the best song ever written bu certainly one that I wish had been written by me.

ten euro says some zealous mofo will say "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley (sic)

Bard

Recently...?

Joan Armatrading - The Weakness in Me
Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved
