We would like to congratulate Steve Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning for his 60th goal of the season.  This is the 39th time an NHL player has hit this mark, and the first time for Stamkos.  In only his fourth season, we aren't looking to put him in the Hockey Hall of Fame, but he would like to state that he is carving out a serious path towards it.

Gang, if you haven't noticed already, a new section is up on the Rock and Roll section located on the left hand side.  The 100 Worst songs of Modern Pop Culture are now up for you to take a look at, which covers multiple decades and genres, and perhaps even a few songs you are not familiar with.  The ratings are a little different, as you can vote to your opinion of the song.  Let us know your thoughts!

The Monkees are one of the more polarizng debate for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Detractors accuratly point to the fact their greatest hits were not written by them, nor did they perform on their earlier records.  However, many of those songs that they performed (and did so live in concert often) have aged remarkably well and remain pop classics.  It is that positive aspect that we will focus on today, as we mourn the loss of their lead singer, Davy Jones.

Jones and the rest of the Monkees may have been put together for the purpose of a television show, but the foursome blended well together and left a legacy behind that sounded anything but pre-fabricated.  By many accounts, Davy Jones was a class act, and we will remember them fondly.

In our first Basketball Hall of Fame List, we annointed Mel Daniels as our top selection.  He won't be there on the second list, as today he was selected as one of five automatic entrants to the Hall.

Daniels was selected by the American Basketball Association Committee, and really who else should they have selected?

Chet Walker holds our #13 spot, but he do will be removed on the next list.  Walker was selected by the Veteran's Committee. 

With our #2 (Reggie Miller) and #3 (Bernard King) selections as nominees, we look forward to a brand new top five come April.
