This list is certainly better than many lists for more modern decades. The usual flaws in magazine lists with so much of a business influence – caught between musical merit and influence and selling product – are nonetheless eerily present in this list. Many awful lo-fi, grunge and Britpop bands whom I would never include in a “best of” list – Beck, Blur, Oasis Nirvana – are present here and cut down the rating a great deal.
