A while back I posted my Top 50 Songs of all time.
I have since undergone some major soul searching and have produced a revised list.
I have noted the previous position of songs and there relative movement for people to study and consider. (The number in brackets after the artist name is how many songs that artist has in the Top 50)

My Top 5 Simpsons Quotes
Here are My Top 5 Simpsons Quotes (in no particular order):
From "She of Little Faith":
Rev. Lovejoy introduces pizza mascot The Noid, who will deliver a special sermon on "deliciousness."
Lisa: That's it!
Homer: [whispering] Quiet, Lisa! Everyone in the store is looking at you.
Lisa: They should take a good look at themselves, and what their church has become. [the congregation gasps]
Lovejoy: Lisa, it's still the same basic message -- we've just dressed it up a little.
Lisa: Like the Whore of Babylon?
[the congregation gasps]
Lovejoy: That is a false analogy!
Lisa: No, it's not. It's apt. Apt!
From "Deep Space Homer":
NASA scientist: Maybe we should finally tell them the big secret - that all the chimps we sent into space came back super intelligent.
Chimp in suit on rollerskates: No. I don't think we'll be telling them that.
From "Lost Our Lisa":
The streets are simply too busy for Homer to see Lisa.
Homer: This is no good, I gotta get up higher! [walks over to a balloon salesman] Give me all of your balloons. [the salesman hands him a dozen or so balloons] I hope this works... [walks to guy in a cherry picker] These are for you if you let me use your cherry picker!
Guy: Well, I've already got some balloons, but.. they're not this nice. Deal!
From "Cape Feare":
One agent suggests a new identity for Homer.
Agent: Tell you what, sir. From now on, you'll be, uh, Homer Thompson at Terror Lake. Let's just practise a bit, hmm? When I say, "Hello, Mr. Thompson," you'll say, "Hi."
Homer: Check.
Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson.
Homer: [stares blankly]
Agent: Remember now, your name is Homer Thompson.
Homer: I gotcha.
Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson.
Homer: [stares blankly]
[A long time later]
Agent: [sighs in frustration] Now, when I say, "Hello, Mr. Thompson," and press down on your foot, you smile and nod.
Homer: No problem.
Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson! [stomps on Homer's foot a few times]
Homer: [stares blankly]
Homer: [to other agent] I think he's talking to you.
From "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?":
Homer now attempts to write the review with Maggie and Santa's Little Helper (SLH).
Homer: I don't need Lisa to write a good review. [reads] The food at the Gilded Truffle really ... What's a good word? [Maggie makes a sucking sound] Sucks! That's great! And the bread was really ... [looks at SLH] Come on, help me out here!
SLH: Ruff!
Homer: Rough? I don't know, you've been pitching that all night.
SLH: Chewy?
