If I'm not mistaken, this album has both Aerosmith's take on "Come Together" and Alice Cooper's rendition of "Because," both of which should redeem the album from such a list.

I'm guessing that's because, like Tom said above, this list is all about flattering the magazine's readership.....who invariably own albums by all the "artists" you just mentioned. It's meaningless.

im just wary of chuck's self-congratulatory let's-hyberbolically-enthuse-over-what-we-imagine-others-think-is-utterly-disposable shtick, is all. it's like he's adopted a certain rhetoric for the sake of argument (and i wouldn't argue its usefulness in a certain context) and after he's won the argument he just. won't. stop.

I liked Monster. It is what it is. I traded an old roommated Siamese Dream for it and have never looked back since.

In what way does my writing NOT illustrate or investigate the greatness of the records I think are great? (Again, have you ever actually READ my two books? I can't think of very many books that contain MORE illustration and investigation in them; I mean, if anything, THAT's what might make them tedious. And I defy you to find a single review I've written that didn't talk in specifics about what makes music good or bad as well; if anything, THAT's my shtick.) And what about the zillions of times I've asserted greatness of records and artists where there IS a consensus? I mean, have you noticed how many positive mentions Dylan, say, gets in my second book?? More than anybody, if I remember right. Sounds like you're saying I should ONLY like artists where there's a consensus. Which would make me an idiot.

I meant books about rock music here, by the way; not auto manuals or the Bill James Baseball Abstract or the Bible or whatever.
