In the main, we have not selected easy targets for removal -- we know that you know that the Milli Vanilli album you've got stashed away in a shoebox isn't exactly kosher. Nope, we chose critical darlings and must-have releases from the past and present. Some will bristle at our audacity for questioning the worth of any Beatles release or blithely pissing on Jane's Addiction's "masterpiece." Some will maintain that we're not qualified or that we'll never make an album as great as Dark Side of the Moon and accordingly should shut our traps. The approval an artist seeks by releasing an album is not guaranteed, even if music moguls, "tastemakers," and critics agree that it is merited. As music listeners, we've taken on the very modest project of flipping through our collections, listening to them, and separating the good stuff from the bad. If the creators of the "greats," the "classics," and the "hits" want to ensure that their efforts get the praise they deserve forevermore, they should take care that they are only accessible to sympathetic critics and fans.

This has to be the most asinine article I've ever read. For even mentioning the Beatles, Zepplin, or the Who, this person should be immediately drug out into the street and shot. [Reply]
This guy comes across as the biggest douche in the world. Some of these are bad albums, some are good music. It doesn't change the fact that I would get pleasure from going "punk" on his ass and kicking his head into the curb. [Reply]
I say owned, because someone last night, apparently taking it upon himself to heed the author's advice, broke into my storage unit and stole all 8,000 CD's. (along with about $12,000 of other DJ equipment) [Reply]

Focking worthless lowlifes,my buddy got broke into the other night already had all the kids gifts under the tree etc and the bastards took everything. [Reply]
Yep, it was a banner weekend for this DJ... worked a dance last night where I had to play 90% latin music, had my check and tip (and previous gigs from the week checks) stolen by hotel staff that are managed by someone who suddenly forgot how to speak english at 1am (even though he had been speaking english to me all night), get up this morning, file the reports with the OP police department, go out to unload my van and find the storage unit latch laying on the ground.
The only 'upside' is that the primary system didn't get stolen because it was in the van. My karoke system, second system, back up system, and the second system lights were all stolen.
Cops show up to take the report and the only thing they had to say was 'guess the weren't outdoorsmen'.... (they left the camping equipment, life jackets, and two $1000+ sets of golf clubs) [Reply]

Are you serious right now? Led Zepplin ROCKS! Listen to Kashmir, Misty Mountain Hop, Black Dog, Houses of the Holy, When the Levee Breaks, Immigrant Song, Rock and Roll, Ramble On! :-)
Aerosmith really? Kings and Queens, Sweet Emotion, Draw the Line, Back in the Saddle, Last Child, Come Together and Sweet Emotion :-)

There are some good ones though.
Hard to imagine dismissing Dark Side of the Moon and ALL GRATEFUL DEAD material.
And then to dismiss The Replacements Tim? That was a pretty good release by the Minneapolis band. [Reply]
