I clicked on the source article, and I agree that for the most part there is a “holier than thou” theme in place here. Picking on Nirvana because they stole the basic idea from the Pixies is a bit over the top: The Rolling Stones, Sonic Youth, The Beatles, you don’t think they stole an idea and got famous for making it better? Now, there are some I agree with- Trout Mask Replica is disgusting, and Bitches Brew is tough on the ears. But overall, there are some decent, and even some damn fine, albums on this list. I think the creators of it enjoy the superiority of tearing it down. Personally, if someone is into Nirvana, and never heard of the Pixies, well then point them in the right direction! Much better than making them feel stupid.

This list is over six years old and I have the same problem with it now that I did then; it is written by smarmy people who assume they’re not being smarmy by removing “pretentious” music from their collection. As though music that’s the least bit challenging is only listened to by pretentious twats who only want to seem “cool.”
Daydream Nation fucked me. Do they understand that? It had sex with me, and no other album has ever done that. If you suggest I might want to remove it from my collection, I will kick you in the neck.

If you’re going to make a list with such a contentious title, you should at least attempt to elaborate a bit on why you feel so strongly.

I’ve heard 47 of these albums so far or 44% of the list. I’ve named 25 “worth consuming” with 22 of them either “Wishy-washy” or truly awful in my opinion. There really is something to the old saw that people buy things just to be VIEWED as “cool”. That or there’s a lot of people out there that really think Prince’s version of “La La Means I Love You” and “Betcha by Golly, Wow” are interesting. :P (See #36)
