It’s so pompous, and yet so fabulous:
It’s so pompous, and yet so fabulous: One Hundred
Albums You Should Remove from Your Collection Immediately. I just
have to include some choice bits:
24. Nine Inch Nails – Pretty Hate Machine
Since you’ve updated your collection with Marilyn Manson albums, are you
really going to pull this one out? And if so, are you also going to put
on your sister’s old black tights that you ripped full of holes just to
wear to the concert back in 1995? Probably not, because by the time the
second song is over, you will be ill with memories of Doc Martens and
bad dye jobs.56. No Doubt – Tragic Kingdom
Ska? No, not ska. Pop. Feminist? No, not feminist.
Victimist. Blonde? No, not blonde. Bleach. Good? No, not good. Bad.58. Ben Folds Five – Whatever and Ever, Amen
You KNOW you own this. Again, he’s
not deep just because he plays the piano, and bitterness doesn’t necessarily
make good music.72. Offspring – Smash
Do you really need to be told to get rid of this album? To label these
schmucks as punk is an insult to all the actual punk bands past and present.
This shit was THE soundtrack to all those slammin’ fraternity parties back in
1994. The Delta Tau brothers couldn’t get enough of that “keep ’em separated”
song (hell, they learned how to “mosh” to this band!), but you’ve had enough,
and so have I. This horse manure isn’t “pretty fly for a white guy,” or any
other guy for that matter.
