Pitchfork Media's "Canada's Top 25 Albums of All Time"

Music365.com recently published their top 100 British albums of all time. Instead of voicing my obvious objections, I’ve decided to do something more positive. Well, okay, I can’t ignore the fact that <i>What’s the Story (Morning Glory)?</i> and <i>Mezzanine</i> beat out <i>Abbey Road</i> and <i>Sgt. Pepper’s</i>. What’s up with that?! The fact that you had to think for a second about who made <i>Mezzanine</i> proves my point. Also, where’s <i>Loveless</i>? Anyway, let’s bring the focus back to this side of the Atlantic. Let’s talk about the best Canadian albums of all time. Great albums need no further specification of band name. When I say <i>Cuts Like a Knife</i> and <i>Moving Pictures</i>, you know what time it is.
