Yeah but fucking Kenny G did.  **FUCKING KENNY G**

No Joy Division?  No Stone Roses?  No MC5 or Stooges?

They probably think punk is represented because they have Green Day.

Just about every Led Zep album though.  Shocker.  I like Led Zep but
there is too much good music to put more than one on a list like
this.  Beatles too.

At least the only Dylan I saw was Blood On the Tracks.

This list ought to compile some essential listening and reading lists,
if that wouldn't be considered too bane for such a heady list
discussing economics and politics and the regular Hilton sister gossip
from Doug.  :-P
