Got about 4, heard about 8/9...

seeing as it's a predominantly white retro guitar band list, where the fuck is British Sea Power's The Decline of Brtish Sea Power?

(Still, I never dug lists, I should be glad it's not on there, given the NME... I'll stick to what comes out of Kranky/Morr/Conspiracy Records et al...)

The Shins's first album is their best, IMO, but Wincing is their second best.

Think Tank??? Come on. Worst Blur album ever.

I have to agree with Lancashire Fusileer on British Sea Power as well.

Dig Lazarus Dig isn't on there so it's obviously a list compiled by a deaf moron.

And Sounds of the Universe anyone?
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

I think this is cause for 15-20 outraged posts in the Obligatory Depeche Mode Thread
