Actually I do like some of these albums. A lot.
 
One would have liked to see Nick Cave in there, as well as Mogwai. But all in all, not a hugely controversial list. Where's Morrissey though? You'd think that at the very least, Quarry would deserve a spot on a list that has a place for a non-entity like Babyshambles. Who the f*** is going to remember Babyshambles five years from now?

cheers
