--- End quote ---
This whole "<multiple of 10> <nouns> you must <verb> before you die" thing that's popped up in the last 5 years or so is basically turning culture into one big checklist approved by men with beards who say words like "ennui" and "liminal" a lot.
Inlander:
The fact that the Guardian's pollsters neglected to include Kate and Anna McGarrigle's "Heart Like a Wheel" on their list of the best heart-break songs indicates that something is very wrong with their judgement indeed.
Cadeonehalf:
I think they get points for having Badly Drawn Boy as required listening, though. :-D
The long line of early Beatles hits, however, seems a little redundant.
Inlander:
To their credit, unlike our friends at Rolling Stone you certainly can't accuse the Guardian folks of only going for the obvious choices.
Durin:
I own 15 (was kind of surprised) and saw quite a few that I thought, "Oh I should eventually get this."
