that is arguably the stupidest and most worthless thing i've ever seen, unless it's intentionally designed to make snobs like me get all indignant, so say, hey, "I Wanna Be Adored" is the finest pop single in the history of the world and I want the Gallaghers to have my two-headed luv chile and Morrissey is my spiritual and life advisor and, it's not funny, is it?

sonny house said...

Dr. D said...

Arctic Monkey as #5. I heard that lp. Horseshit. But this is the perfect British music list. A mixture of substance and an overhemling dollop of fashion, hype and haircuts.

An odd group of people...but then we are Americans. Who is more fucked up than us in say the last 100 years? And no Rawanda or Cambodia dont count bc they dont produce Rawk. And thats the only thing matters in the end, isnt it?

#1 American lp? Scarecrow by John Cougar Mellonhead. Dopey, loudmouth, familiar, confused. At the top with a bullet.
