Five Ecocars!
Five cars that start at less than $15,000 and can get 35MPG or more:
Hyundai Accent - 26 city, 35 highway, 29 average - Starts at $9,970
Smart For Two Coupe - 33 city, 41 highway, 36 average - Starts at $11,990
Kia Rio - 26 city, 35 highway, 30 average - Starts at $12,145
Toyota Yaris - 29 city, 35 highway, 31 average- Starts at $12,205
Honda Fit - 28 city, 35 highway, 31 average - Starts at $14,705
I call them ecocars because they are both relatively economical and ecological compared to most other cars.

Jam On Revenge is an underground masterpiece.
I think that the 1984 Newcleus album Jam On Revenge is arguably one of the best albums ever recorded. It is a conceptual album about a group of renegade musicians from a galaxy where music and dancing are illegal escaping to earth where they can be free to be themselves. The group kept the songs consistent with the concept and, more incredibly, their music matched the concept. Plus there is the rap song Jam On It, where the group challenges and defeats Superman in a jam contest. It is a shame that this album/CD is so hard to find and that more people haven't heard of it.

The Five Ultimate Metal Bands!
5) Marilyn Manson - Ultimate metal resurgence.
Just as metal seemed like it had been wiped off the face of the earth by grunge, Marilyn Manson came out of nowhere reviving it and paving the way for bands like Korn and Slipknot.
4) KISS - Ultimate metal showmen.
Arguably didn't start playing metal until the 1980's but their 1970's show set the bar for metal concerts, a bar that arguably no-one else has succeeded in reaching.
3) Led Zeppelin - Ultimate influence on metal.
Unarguably transcended metal but also arguably influenced metal more than any other band.
2) Black Sabbath - Founding fathers of metal.
First band to set the standard for metal. Dark, heavy and, at times, fast. Also spawned two of metal's more legendary solo careers, Ozzy Osborne and Dio.
1) Iron Maiden - Ultimate metal band.
Combined the darkness and heaviness of Black Sabbath with an expansion of their speed and the showmanship of KISS. If that isn't enough, they also have intelligent lyrics that makes fans want to dig out their history books.
