Couldn't agree more. A Wizard/A True Star sounds like nothing else from that era.

They'd better reference Peter Gabriel-era Genesis. None of that "Invisible Touch" shit.

Am I going to get beaten up for saying I think Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is the best of the year thus far?

I can't get all that into Dirty Projectors. It's like Portishead last year. I recognize that it's a good album, it just doesn't appeal to me.

Exile in Guyville can't touch Slanted And Enchanted. Also, no Three EP's? Isn't Regal an indie label? Likewise, no Vs. or Signals, Calls, and Marches by Mission of Burma = EPIC LIST FAIL. That was on Ace of Hearts, which was most definitely an indie label.

I'm more of a Red Medicine guy, myself, but you can't really go wrong with any of those four albums. They're all pretty close.

Any list that has Smoke on the Water and not Highway Star is terrible. Seriously, Highway Star is better in every conceivable way. Having the easiest riff to play on a guitar does not make a song great. But, what the hell, this list is bullshit anyway. Liked the inclusion of Cult of Personality and Love Removal Machine, though. These lists always forget that it's a search for the GREATEST, not the most popular. Won't Get Fooled Again and My Generation are good songs, make no mistake, but there is no Who song in existence better than "The Real Me" off of Quadrophenia, which is arguably the best bass song ever. Also would've liked to have seen some QoTSA (No One Knows? Fucking Buckcherry made this list!) and a Metallica song that ISN'T OFF THE BLACK ALBUM. Seriously, is ...And Justice For All too much to ask? Fuck Bret Michaels, and fuck VH1.

Jesus. I hope this ISN'T how Arcade Fire is, because it would totally prove Wayne's point. Not really sure who to side with on this (leaning towards Wayne, more asshole reports on Win), but hopefully Win isn't as a big a douchebag as you.

If you planned on putting up a shitty list anyway, why not go all out? Where's a Kerrang! list?

I'm surprised by the number of basketball fans here. I thought monsters hated sports! Apparently we're all Free Darko-reading, Basketball Jones-listening, sports fans.

I freaking love Roald Dahl, and this was actually my favorite book of his. I probably read that book upwards of 30 times between the ages of 8 and 10. The Wes Anderson thing certainly doesn't hurt, either. Now all we need is a Spike Jonze adaptation of "The Giraffe, The Pelly, and Me!"

Yeah, this is good, but the best? Maybe if Richie Cunning's name was "A-Ha," and the song was called "Take On Me," it would be. Right now? He wishes.

There are more people from West Michigan on here than I expected. I really wish something like this had happened to Miranda instead. Having met her personally, she is a smug, self-righteous, BITCH.

See, I think Crank exists to expose other retarded action movies for what they are. The fact that it does this while remaining ridiculously entertaining is pretty admirable. I don't think the rape scene is supposed to be rational. It's basically making fun of the usual action movie cliche that women love dangerous, musclebound men and will love them unconditionally, regardless of all the terrible shit they have to go through to do it. Crank just takes this 5 levels higher than your average action movie does, just like it does with every other terrible action movie cliche (i.e. terrible/vague/incomprehensible/nonsensical plots, random fight scenes, ridiculously over the top stunts).
