Nothing seems to anger up my blood like a "Best of..." list. I ranted about the top documentary films of all time last week, and though this list has been out for a while, I still had to share. I know that these lists mean nothing and are meant to provoke controversy, discussion, etc. I know that they are put together by overpaid, under educated punks that wear designer clothes, talk about how history will show that Al Gore would have been a better president, and drink $15 coffee. I'm sorry, I still get pissed. What are the parameters for this list? What were the qualifications that were needed? Who came to this decision? Sigh. I mean, how do you place the Dixie Chicks higher than Jimi Hendrix? I am a big fan of the band +Live+ but there is no way I rate them higher than Rush. When I have time, I'll have to put together my own list, probably with the help of Dennis.
I have posted the top 25. The full list can be read here.
