Elder ,'Power Play'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Van is an Irishman who recorded the whole damn record in America with American jazz musicians. How British is that?
And no Smiths or Kinks? Pfft. Do they even understand the concept of "British"? Exile doesn't feel particularly British either since it was recorded in a mansion along the French Riviera.
Stone Roses?! Did someone hack into the electronic ballot box?
I thought maybe it was a readers' poll, but noooo, they polled 100 musicians and critics.
Makes you wonder which 100 musicians and critics they polled.
You know, I really love the Beatles and all, but I'm sick of seeing "Sgt. Pepper" on all these lists.
I'll never get the love for the Stone Roses on the other side of the pond.
Hey, I won free tickets to see the Decemberists tonight!
I'm sick of seeing "Sgt. Pepper" on all these lists.
At least "Revolver" was in front of it.
Go Hayden!
9 Blue Lines - Massive Attack
Cool! Although I thought Mezzanine was supposed to be the best one. Huh.
10 Metal Box - PiL
I feel stupid for asking, but who?
Congrats, hayden!
At least "Revolver" was in front of it.
No kidding.
Go Hayden!

P-C doesn't know who PiL is?
What are they teaching kids in school these days?
