OT (sorry I know there was a thread about this, but so what), I saw this today:



Personally I would say Eddie VH is the greatest ever, and it's nice to see some love for Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and this list is missing Bob Mould, and Pete Townshend should be higher up . . . but my most visceral reaction was HOW THE FUCKING FUCK DOES THE EDGE MAKE THIS LIST????

List is a bit of a joke: they don’t even include Ritchie Blackmore.

Be really interesting to look at the ages of the high and low scorers on this one. Obviously they really rode and to some degree defined the zeitgeist at that moment. I suspect I was simply a bit too old and had heard a bit too much to buy into it. I don't know if I'd have been in my teens or early twenties whether they'd have resonated more.

My dad died a couple of months before this was released and in a sense that had aged me a little bit further by the time this arrived. Anyway I'm drifting into context I said I would ignore.

Not sure it is an age thing. You either like them or you don't. I know cunts of all ages that really dislike them, and that love them.

Halfway through the first listen, and I feel exactly as I thought I would. I have at least had the sense to put this on through youtube, and not my spotify. Think it will be one go out of respect and then back next week.

Ultimately, it is not like I am refusing to listen to something stubbornly without giving or a real chance. Given that I have heard most of the album over the years whether I wanted to or not, and the songs are so well known.
