More Greatest Albums Ever At Press Time!
Well, the readers spoke—and the editors fetched! Little did we know what we were getting ourselves into when we asked you to send us lists of your 10 “best” and/or favorite LPs of all time, along with a 100-words-or-less description of why you chose your number one pick.
More Greatest Albums Ever At Press Time!
Well, the readers spoke—and the editors fetched! Little did we know what we were getting ourselves into when we asked you to send us lists of your 10 “best” and/or favorite LPs of all time, along with a 100-words-or-less description of why you chose your number one pick. We were literally swamped with a mountain of entries, which only goes to show that there’s a lot of aspiring rock critics out there (take our advice—try law school instead).
Anyway, we were quite surprised by the unpredictability of the whole affair. The album with the most votes? Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols! If you’d have told us this would take the honors even five years ago, we’d have never believed you. Heck, some of us remember being in college in 1977, and—-forget the Sex Pistols or the Clash—lots of people acted like you didn’t bathe or something if you liked “punk rock shit” like Elvis Costello!
