Listen, VH1, and I know you're listening: Did I miss Radiohead on your chart? Guess it's too early, wait another few years and it'll be a matter of how many of their albums are up on these mainstream "definitive" charts. These bloody brilliannt English, with their bangers and beans and their football (albeit the EPL) and their music! You could've spared some Beatles and Dylan with Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake. Those are my thoughts.

"OK Computer" should have definitely been higher. But overall it's a little better than rolling stone's list.

That, or when they release the digitally remastered albums this year. I was looking into it and they should be coming out with a new set to replace the infamously poor set from '87. I dont know, we'll see what happens.

There's a reason we always see the Beatles. In-fact, there's several reasons. When you grow up, you'll understand.
