I have nine of the 60. Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung is by far the best of those I have. Honourable mention to Fargo Rock City and Love Is A Mixtape. I started This Is Your Brain On Music... Must try again sometime.   Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 4011 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Sunday, July 17, 2011 - 08:22 am:    I'm surprised Fredric Dannen's Hit Men: Power Brokers and Fast Money Inside the Music Business didn't make the list though. It's a classic.
