The more I read this the more I find things to enjoy!
I love the kind of 1990s Letterman-style top ten list vibe. I strongly associate that whole "Chicks dig the blank" idiom with growing up in the 90s. In trying to find the origins of that phrase just now I came across a 1995 article from the Baltimore Sun discussing the resurgence of the word "Chick", so looks like you were a few years ahead of the curve .
And I also love that 32 years later, your fervent dislike of the french horn is still going strong!
Thanks for sharing all of these musical memories. For reference, when you wrote this list I was 5 or 6 years old and still 6 years away from blowing my first notes on a baritone in the middle school band.
