You don't think I've managed, among all the other things I do, to review the discography and history of every metal band in just two months, do you?

Anyhoo, it's all relative. Some of the bands I could have chosen better examples from, apparently, had I known about them, but to use your own Genesis example, if I knew nothing about Genesis how would I decide between "Trespass" (cool title!) and the self-titled? I wouldn't know that one differed vastly from the other. That's why I could have done with some help. Meh, it's all rock and roll anyway, innit?

See what you think of the next one...
There is something called Wikipedia, All Music and Rate Your Music that would give you any band's best albums in just a few keystrokes and there's always a consensus on what's best as well. Also sites like Amazon have 'listmania' where fans of the band rate their best albums by an band as well. Nobody was expecting you to listen to entire discographies
