Obscurities? That's ridiculous! Apart from Augustus Pablo who I must admit to knowing nothing about myself, these are all great well regarded British albums. The Guardian btw is a British newspaper, which is why these albums are included. They've also included plenty of American acts which makes this chart pretty diverse! Branch out & give some of those albums a listen, you might enjoy them. Just because something is "obscure" to you, doesn't mean that its not worthy to feature on a greatest albums list. Any 30 somethings who have lived in the UK will be familiar with all of those bands, many others too!

What makes a "good" list to you?

Not too obvious, really. And diversity. Not too much hard rock, not too much British invasion, not to much anything. Can we please get off of the discussion of me, though? Being the center of attention hasn't done me any good on BEA, and I would like the chart to be the focal point. Just because I made one mistake, please don't turn it into a discussion about me. I get it. Their not mainstream. Can we please, please leave it at that?

You dislike it because it's different from other magazines? No offense, dude, but that's really fucking stupid.
And you can't find a shred of accuracy here? What does that even mean? How can a subjective ranking be accurate or inaccurate?

In Jman's defense, of the ones he picked out I had only heard of The Specials and Dexy's Midnight Runners. It must be the fact they're more popular in Europe.

I have an answer for that, but I'm not going to state it because I said that's enough. I'm not the thread topic, so stick with the thread topic. If you want to continue that other conversation, PM me for once and stop derailing the thread. Can't I make a single thread where people don't constantly question me? I'm done with it. I understand I'll be called out for mistakes, but I've been getting called out for the past 2 pages, and the thread's not even three complete pages long.

If you're going to put your opinions out in the open then you should expect people to discuss them. That's how forums work. Especially if you're going to make ludicrous criticisms of a greatest albums list. Stop trying to make us the bad guys. You shouldn't post things if you don't want us to read them and think about them.
