I never heard of most of these bands. Recognize about 10
names.

...but that's okay, just more stuff for me to look into and
check out.

I bet Rolling Stone puts Chinese Democracy as #1

i quite like 18 of the albums on that list..there's also
quite a few i don't yet know so i guess it's time to check

That's actually a decent list. Not sure i'd place the Jeck
album so high up though.

Other Channels should have been number 1. Still, glad to see
it getting some exposure - it's one of the best albums i've
heard in a long, long time.

i'd like to know why 'test pattern' ranks above 'dig
thingy'.

lists like these are pretty retarded.
