Outrageous Gall
It's Wednesday! Time for music blogging!
My blogcritics colleague Rodney Welch has found this screedly little list of 100 albums that everyone must purge from their collections immediately. I can't say as that I agree with many of the choices, but it's a well-argued and provocative piece nonetheless.
I mean, I can see why The Replacement's "Tim" is on the list, when "Let it Be" is much better, and why Tom Waits' "The Mule Variations" is called a remake of the far better "Swordfishtrombones" and "Rain Dogs," but... "Giant Steps"? "Blood Sugar Sex Magic"? "Combat Rock"? "The Soft Bulletin"? "Bitches Brew"? "Daydream fucking Nation?" "Nothing's Shocking"?
Please.
Shoots straight past "the emperor has no clothes" to reveal a buncha half-Neanderthal Philistines pissed off that they don't get it. Cry me a river and go buy the new Cave-In record, ok?

What... you think "Tim" is
What... you think "Tim" is better than "Let It Be"?
You're probably a Tragically Hip fan, too.
