Top 100 albums? My arse!

Julia notices that she doesn't have very many of Pitchfork.com's Top 100 Albums of the 80s.

My CD collection of several hundred albums contains precisely two out of that hundred, King Crimson's "Discipline", and the eponymously-titled debut by The Stone Roses. That so-called top 100 list is dominated by the dreary alternative/indie bands that trendy music journalists have always drooled over. None of the unfashionable stuff I liked - no room for anything by Marillion, or for Blue Öyster Cult's magnificent "Imaginos". Bah!
