I like a decent amount of what's on it but it really doesn't get more myopic than that list. And the fact that there are only six different artists on the list is also pretty dumb. |
^ Well said, Janszoon.
Instead of giving the list a pretentious title like "greatest albums of all time", RS could´ve been more honest by calling it "our readership´s favs" or something like that.
I also agree with Rjinn about the blackness/whiteness of Beatles fans. Doesn´t seem relevant to me, though I would like to know how the Beatles music goes over with people whose skin is grey.
PS. Does anyone have statistics about how many left-handed people like the Beatles ?
