I have never been beaten, never lost a finger nail, never had a spike drilled through my eye, never been badly burned or hit by a car. I've never been shot, choked, stabbed or bludgeoned.
But I have been stuck in a store playing this album, so don't talk to me about pain.
I have a feeling this will be my most controversial pick; They Might Be Giants have a huge following and, I have to admit, there are a few tracks on Flood that I have always adored. I even think the two Johns are pretty fabulous people, especially their Dial-a-Song.
But even fabulous people can do things that makes us hurt.
But what do you think?
