I voted for NFBM but... It seems like it might be helpful if we used some type of 3 tiered system for these "Favorite album..." and "Favorite song..." types of questions. A "Good," "Better," "Best" system of some sort. Just a thought...

Hey all, wanted to share my tattoo as my first post (it was 4 or 5 years old when this picture was taken).
