Album lists
 

I have this love-hate thing with them. But if we can't get away from them, at least we should have more like this:

I like this one becuz if validates part of my collection while challenging me to go look for other stuff.

just try to avoid those NME top 50 album ones.

I remember when that issue came out a few years ago.It made for interesting reading.

Out of the entire Can discography, they pick "Soon Over Babaluma?"
That to me is an odd choice indeed.

Well, I thought Highway 61 Revisted over Blonde on Blonde was odd, too. But it's not a perfect world. They get close though.

Highway 61 is better than Blonde On Blonde.

Yeah, I said it.

I am iron man...

well that's the wire for you, in a recent best of whatevers list they picked We Will Fall by The Stooges over any of their other songs.

But that song is terrible.

But that's why we like the Wire, isn't it? Because it doesn't do what a magazine should? And they put Radiohead on the cover and, get this, actually ask them questions about music. And they talk about Derek Bailey like everyone knows him. And very often make me think very bad albums are actually quite good. And, more often than anything else, they tell me about music that I haven't heard of which actually changes something quite important in my appreciation of music. For all the cack, a world of greatness.

there was no reason for that song to be 10 minutes. maybe 5 at the most

Funny, I thought they would pick "L.A. Blues," heh.

I actually like "We Will Fall," but it's no "Down on the Street," "Loose," or "Gimme Danger."

i dont skip either "we will fall" or "l.a. blues" when listening to the album
i kinda like l.a. blues

that's a goddamn good list.

There's nothing wrong with Fun House, or anything on it for that matter.

Down on the Street is their best song, I believe.

i was pleased to see that white light/white heat was on the list instead of the first record.

Thats because its much much better.

I agree.

i know, but most of these lists feature the first one instead of white light.
