there is no Floyd on this list. Parachute is my favorite pretty things. still think queen is dead is the best smith's.
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?
some of my favorite couplets-
53: The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed

96: Adam And The Ants - KingsOf The Wild Frontier
piss off
now that I think about it, Kings of the Wild Frontier is better than Zeppelin IV. My bad.
hey, that piss off was for your zep dig. how'd it end up on top?
you know, i rarely understand a word you say
baby boomerang to you too, good sir
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.
i love the British
