"When you're writing rock's history, you have to make some hard choices," said Anthony DeCurtis, one of the editors of The Rolling Stone Illustrated History Of Rock. "Do you give equal space to influential artists like Jonathan Richman, Gang Of Four, and Fugazi, even though they're not as well known as Madonna or Elton John? Making a decision like that can take an entire weekend of soul-searching."
"I don't mind, though, because I love music," added DeCurtis, slipping a Cream CD just to the left of one by The Creation in the British Invasion section of his music collection. "Rock is just so spontaneous and full of life."

Although I'm a mere fan and not a rock historian, I take great offense to this article. It's not like I'm obsessed with music or anything. Besides, I thought EVERYONE knew that Ray Manzarek produced that X album. Oh yeah, and the first rock and roll record was none of those mentioned in the article. It was "Hastings Street," recorded by Blind Blake and Charlie Spand, way back in August of 1929. On the Paramount label.
OK, now I must go pick up some more Clearasil.

I wonder how many threads we can post titled "Ouch" before the server chokes? (Technical Side Issue: Is my thread and Patrins in two different categories?)
