- The Bends x 100000
  
  I hate it but every CUNT on the planet says it as if it's important.
  
  A bit like a latter day Sgt. Peppers.
  
  And that's a load of arse too.
  
  moker @alcxxk | 15 Oct '06, 20:58 | X
I think it's a repeat of the one they had last year.

I won't spoil it for you by telling you who wins.
There's no loveless though, so it's all trivial.

- Too late
  
  That raspcallion already said it.

  - I told my parents about Ok Computer winning.
    
    Their reaction: "What? People are ignorant."
    
    IrishMagpie @homesick_alien | 15 Oct '06, 20:59 | X
    - slap your parents
      
      from me.

        they are correct, though
        
        it's not the best album ever at all.
        
        ex_cynic @IrishMagpie | 15 Oct '06, 23:39 | X
- ha
  
  i spoilt it :P

  This just makes me angry, and I've already seen it.
  But I'm going to continue watching anyway, and complain.

    If I kill them will you take the blame for it?
    
    colonol_k @rapscalion-jones | 15 Oct '06, 21:16 | X
    - i'll do better than that
      
      i'll blame rod stewart.

  rapscalion-jones @simon_t | 15 Oct '06, 21:17 | X

  IrishMagpie @simon_t | 15 Oct '06, 21:17 | X
  - all I remember
    
    is that The Libertines is quite high. That stuck in the mind, and was clearly due to the massive amount of hype.

      rapscalion-jones @IrishMagpie | 15 Oct '06, 21:19 | X
      - so do I
        
        but there's no way their second album is among the 30 best albums ever.
        
        IrishMagpie @rapscalion-jones | 15 Oct '06, 21:21 | X
    - Which one was it?
      
      I'm assuming Up The Bracket, otherwise something has gone terribly wrong.

        OK
        
        he at least has to own Pet Sounds and OK Computer though.
        
        I'll defend Pink Floyd somewhere else, shall I?

        preferably not on DIS
        
        ;)
        the following albums from that list are totally incredible:
        The Specials - s/t
        The Velvet Underground and Nico - s/t
        Pixies - Doolittle
        Lou Reed - Transformer
        Talking Heads - Fear of Music
        Love - Forever Changes
        Public Enemy - Nation Of Millions

It feels like the 153rd time

they've done this.

And the list is for the most part unimaginative, warped [ALANIS MORRISSETTE? Man alive...] and frankly not that interesting.

  repeat of the same program...

    Prodigy (ace) and Meatloaf (shite) :P
    No Flaming Lips?
