I Have Never Listened To:

[Imran Siddiqui]

How is it a rhetorical question when the question has an easy answer specified in the 1st post? Just admit you didn't know and move on.

[SpencerH]

Its not that I didnt know. Its that I didnt care.

Heres the definition for you

A question to which no answer is expected, often used for rhetorical effect.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Rhetorical questions are used for the production of some sort of effect. That statement didn't ellude any of that. What effect were your trying to reach there?

Secondly, it wasn't a question.

Will y'all just continue this via PMs?

Hang on just one damn second...the no. 1 was OK Computer by Radiohead? Now The Bends (preceeding album) was pretty good but this is where Radiohead just went plain ridiculous. Paranoid Android was a cool song but the only thing of any worth here...the rest is miserable w@nkery and absolutely nothing to remember. I thought this album was cool at first but then I realised it wasn't, therefore the only long term memory of it is Paranoid Android...

finally a man of reason. And an Englishman too. That is the only decent song on that album. The rest was crap.

MADONNA - Like a Prayer
ABBA - Arrival
DURAN DURAN - Rio
DIDO - No Angel
ROBBIE WILLIAMS - I've Been Expecting You

It's amazing how people can like crappy things like this. And I cannot understand how three of these albums can actually be better than Joy Division's Closer.

Most people have a very poor musical taste indeed.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

NICK DRAKE - Five Leaves Left

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. 100 years from now, Nick Drake will enjoy the same levels of fame as Van Gogh does today. Good to see him moving up the list, seeing as he sold fewer than 5,000 albums in his lifetime.

[Brundlefly]

OK Computer is a masterpiece. Anything Radiohead does is genius.

Coldplay is overrated.

I couldn't agree more. For such a supposedly huge band, they also seem to have left little indirect impression on the music world, outside of a couple of crappy solo careers spun off by the members.

[Boris Godunov]

Much easier to list the ones I have listened to:

MICHAEL JACKSON - Thriller
PINK FLOYD - Dark Side of the Moon
THE BEATLES - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
THE BEATLES - The White Album
JOHN LENNON - Imagine
SIMON AND GARFUNKEL - Bridge Over Troubled Water
THE DOORS - The Doors
BILLIE HOLIDAY - Lady Sings the Blues
THE WHO - Tommy
SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER - The Original Movie Soundtrack
NICK DRAKE - Five Leaves Left
THE EAGLES - Hotel California

Most of those were heard via other people listening to them and me having no choice (like in long car rides).

they were popular because they had such a broad appeal. Yes I like the eagles (but don't have any of their albums) a little. They are okay to listen to on the radio. They have their heavier rock songs, and then they play soft rock, and even a little bit of country. That's why they are so popular.
