Oh, I thought you were being ironic with your first statement about The Offspring. Smash is average.

I'd go with Led. Hip hop has never been my thing.

You're thinking of David Gilmour I think. Roger Waters is playing Dark Side of the Moon at various venues. Pink Floyd aren't playing together, sadly.

Are you going to see him at Roskilde, Ncro?

Insane beats, insane flow. Every single minute of it is insane. I don't get how you can call it just "OK." Smash is "OK" at best.

And so what if it didn't sell well (which as far as I know is not true at all)? Grim Fandango didn't sell well. Crystal Key is the number one bestselling adventure ever. So therefor Crystal Key is the better
game, right?

And IV and Illmatic are, from what I can see, considered to be the best more than those other albums.

I mean, unless you used the two you did because YOU think they're the best ever.
No, I don't think IV is even close. Illmatic is up there, but not the best.

Smash has insane energy and amazing lyrics, from start to end. Plus great guitar riffs, and excellent bass.

You obviously don't see the significance of it being independent.

Yea but that list is important because it shows what are considered to be the greatest albums ever. If it is a bandwagon list as you say, then that would mean that many people would agree with it.

But while it does have variety, I didn't see any rap just from a brief lookover, so it would seem more of a pop list...or maybe they honestly thought no rap album deserved to be up there.

There were a few.

Singling out an entire genre, especially one as broad as rap, is just dumb.

Okay, I am being a bit unfair, but I'd still pick Illmatic over Smash any day.

Oh I get it. But sales still don't mean shit.

Mang, he's going to be in Reykjavik?

Don't give me an excuse to come back to Iceland.

Even though he's also playing London, but ssh that's too easy so I'm disregarding it.

IV isn't that good, nor is III. II is awesome, and Houses of the Holy is best.

Also, Comfortably Numb is blargh. I disrespect your opinion!

I'm aware. It wasn't a serious comment.

But it isn't that unreasonable, given that people's opinions are always going to be affected by their taste.
