While I was gone there was a big debacle over Tom's
Best 100 LP's of the 90's list. Which is surprising because it seems pretty straightforward to me. Then again, I'm familiar with (and share much of) Tom's tastes. But still, I can't really think of any grounds upon which readers could attack it except glibness. Which is the whole point, innit? Anyway, in the spirit of catching up, I own and love: 2, 4, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 21, 22, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 56, 57, 63, 66, 68, 70, 73, 77, 79, 80, 81, 85, 87, 88, 98, plus a great deal of the songs on 17, 18, and 19. Which is actually much more than I'd expected, despite having read the list before. Maybe the first time I was slightly overawed by all that Japanese psychedelia.
