Media Center>100 albums you should remove from your collection immediately
Nzoner 09:27 PM 12-03-2004
According to this article and list anyway.

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.

A bunch of them they are dead on with. But come on...Dark Side of the Moon is just college music from the 70's rather than one of the greatest albums of all time?

Two other of my favorits that made their list:

Oasis - What's the Story, Morning Glory?
Radiohead - I Might be Wrong: Live Recordings

I posted the list for anyone looking to kill some time who like myself is a lover of music.Personally,I think lists like these are all full of it as music,like movies should be left to one's personal tastes.

Just my 2 cents as this list is to the creators.

Yeah i complely agree. These list things always have some terrible choices in them based on personal preference. The still manage to create discussion about music/movies which i dont mind at all.

However The thing i found kind of interesting was there were a couple of albums that i consider really good that havnt made their way into my CD player in years. Which i guess was sort of the point of the list?

For instance:

Nirvana - Nevermind
Pearl Jam - Vs.
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
U2 - The Joshua Tree

U2 - War
Gin Blossoms - New Miserable Experience
Counting Crows - August and Everything After
Offspring - Smash
The Cult - Electric

As for the other ones, if he wants to get rid of them, he can feel free to send them to me so I can check them out. I agree with him that radio play kills a lot of records... so I generally only listen to the radio about once every 5 or 6 months. Having a thousand CDs is pretty liberating that way...

Bastards.
Wow I missed that. No need to associate that crap with Delts.

Wow I love U2 - The Joshua Tree and it is clear I really pay no attention at all to the lyrics of music because I had no idea there was a religious basis to the songs.

Jeezus what is wrong with this idiot, to include Beatles - Let it Be is insanity.

It is just some cat trying to prove how "cutting edge" he is by clowning on music that was popular in the past. Nothing new. The same sentiment gave birth to punk (Billy Idol was once recording in the same studio as Led Zeppelin and cussed them out as "old f***ers" in the hallway) and to grunge.

Its cool... I'll still listen to what I like and tune out what I don't. I'll say this, though... the younger generation can't really say sh** about our music because they've got Backstreet/NSync/Brittney /ETC hanging from their necks like a f***ing albatross...
