NWFlyer 2 #1 March 8, 2007 This is not my list; I got it from here. I can't take too seriously any list that has Revolver at number 42, just above Slippery When Wet, not to mention any list that includes Creed. According to this article it's supposed to be the 200 albums every music fan should own. I stopped counting, but I definitely own well less than half.

chaoskitty 0 #12 March 8, 2007 So if some one who "rapes" is a "rapist".. how come someone who "raps" is a "rapper" and not a "rappist"? Or why isn't a "rapist" a "raper"? I think Will Smith is a killer rappist! Ok maybe thats why. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfrese 0 #13 March 8, 2007 Well, these lists are typically just a starting point for long (usually drunken) arguments, but any list that has four Metallica albums and one Hendrix album is probably full of shit, I don't need to even read the whole thing.
