You can understand why I got so frustrated, yeah? They talked a lot about how "The Libertines" is amazing because it traces the eventual meltdown of the band, but that is exactly why I find it harder to listen too, it's too sad. VSB said he thought it must be based on commercial success, but apparently it was based on "the public's vote). And I guess that's why we should be happy, no ecstatic that enough people have the sense to vote OK computer into #1. You're right, notably no Foo Fighters included. As I say, it's mostly "Grace" and "Pet Sounds" that they fucked up, but I also really think "Parallel Lines" by Blondie is also one of THE most perfect albums ever.
You should absolutely get "Parallel Lines". It is one of my very favourites and pretty much flawless. lol, I'm not so keen on G'n'R either! I was thinking about carefully compiling my top 100 albums, it'll be hard though. Yeah I think the white album came in in the early teens...here's the full list btw http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/G/greatest/albums/results.html
Yay for the Paul Simon comment. BTW, you are without question the smartest Oasis fan I've met. The countdown was a show on Channel 4 last night... http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/G/greatest/albums/results.html You're right about The Verve too. I used to love "Urban Hymns", but as VSB said, the fact I "used" to love it is important. There were several albums on there that weren't even the best by whichever artist in question. *stabs unwashed and musically illiterate masses*
