Greatest Carpenters Songs

Greatest Carpenters Songs (November 2015)



The Carpenters are one of the greatest groups of all time. There songs are heart wrenching. There is a deep sadness and longing in them. To not appreciate them is to not appreciate music itself, someone once said. Karen is one of the greatest singers of all time. She has one of the greatest voices in history. The tragedy of her life only adds to the depth of the songs of the Carpenters. She was gone way too soon, but these songs will live on forever. I know they have helped many out there get through very rough times.

The New York Dolls are one of the most underrated groups of all time. They have created some of the greatest songs ever. They straddled the line between glam and punk.

Best and worst wrestling announcers

Best and worst wrestling announcers of all time (September 2015)

Of course, it is all a matter of opinion, but here are the 15 worst and best wrestling commentators of all time. Personally, I prefer Bobby the Brain and Jesse, but it was hard not to rank JR number one. Also, a lot of the announcers today are not good, but that is mainly because Vince McMahon is in their ears telling them what to say and pushing his silly verbiage. No one can do well in that environment. By the way, I have changed my mind about Pentengill. I have come to appreciate him more in retrospect. He had a hard job to do and he was a professional.

7. Mark Madden
6. Randy Savage
5. Don West
4. Taz

This is a list of the worst things ever in wrestling. These are all pretty much kayfabe things. The list does not include things like injuries or deaths of behind the scenes type things. These are all things that they pretty much did on purpose. Keep in mind that this list was written in 2015. The product in WWE has been atrocious overall since that time, so there would be many more entries possible. It is funny how so many of these are somehow related to one or both of the the two Vinces, McMahon and Russo.
