the Brits and their fookin' lists. I'm always mad fer it.

Oh, NME, you crazy wankahs! Actually, it's those amnesiac readers/fans...putting Oasis above the Beatles...

Ludicrous. Silly. Blasphemous!


BUT, still so fun to see...And you know Noel and Liam will be howlin' about it. It also proves my undeniable Anglophilia and how much the British music journalism machine preaches to me and my loves. (with the exception of the fucking Strokes and overrated-like-no-other-band-in-recent-history, Radiohead. OK Computer always tops these lists and I'm so sick of it. [rolls eyes]

One question, Brits: Where's the Verve? C'mon!!!
