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:
http://www.thewire.co.uk/archive/cha..._mostever.html I like this one becuz if validates part of my collection while challenging me to go look for other stuff.

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.

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.

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." |

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