100 albums you should remove from your collection immediately
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. |

Any publicity is good publicity...
We own [6] of the CDs on that list. [3] of them are in regular rotation at Rancho Gaz. [1] was purchased for a single song [after hearing it in a film]. [1] was a gift for Mrs. Gaz [should have gone with jewelry]. [1] belonged to Mrs. Gaz before our nuptials and may not have been played since. The comments are funny. Some 'zo puts up a list of CDs and a frenzy results. Reminds me of ChiefsPlanet. xoxo~ Gaz Getting all nostalgic. |

It amazes me that, despite the fact they are probably my favorite band, Van Halen "Balance" and "3" didn't make the list.

I'm not sure why these guys think they're qualified to be music critics. Look like a bunch of Seattle Bloggers to me. As with anything on the Net, consider the source of the info before you accept it as truth.

I don't think there is one album out there you can't make fun of for some reason. If an album was made in earnest you can knock it for taking itself too seriously and if an album is just a good time party album you can knock it for being too childish. It all depends on your perspective and what your expectations are.

Somebody watched High Fidelity one night and said "that Barry character is sooooo cool, I bet I could do that."
"Everything popular sucks" is a cheap and easy way to pose as a critic.

Like Nzoner said thing like music and movies are very subjective to the person experiencing it. So most lists like this are just somebody elses opinion. I for one can't stand U2 and thought they were one of the most over rated bands of the times. But thats just me. I know lots of folks who really like them.
I for one only own Dark Side of the Moon from that list. I used to own a few others that were stolen from me and never replaced. Some of the CD's that I own I purchased for a few songs on there and don't care for the rest so they don't quite make the rotation as often. |

One's I own
Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty (but I lost it and haven't tried to replace it) Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (some of it is okay) No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom (I have a weakness for women singing) Offspring - Smash (Offspring just has some fun stuff) Nirvana - Nevermind (I don't bother to listen to this one, damn band gets so much overkill on the radio) My wife owns a lot more on that list, but I don't count those as we have completely different musical taste (if you call what I have taste) |
