I find it weird that they mentioned Richard Branson signing Faust (awesome), Can (awesome) and The Sex Pistols (not so awesome), but not Mike Oldfield. I mean, it was a quite obvious, opportune self-reference for them to make. As for Collins or Thatcher, well, there are a lot more fans of Tubular Bells than there are fans of QE2 and Amarok combined...
That list of cool/uncool albums is rather bizarre, innit? I mean, since when, in the whole history of the world, is Sparks uncool? And why oh why is White Light/White Heat, the album with BOTH The Gift AND Sister Ray, should be the #1 coolest album ever, sharing the list with Massive Attack, Björk and Joy Division? Anyway, the albums I have:
Cool: White Light/White Heat (meh), Protection (yet to listen to it), Revolver (meh), Vespertine (excellent), Station to Station (great), Unknown Pleasures (great), In a Silent Way (brilliant), For Your Pleasure (excellent) - AND I have a couple of Aphex Twin's releases WHICH ARE NOT COMPILATIONS, you bastards!
Uncool: Actually (great) and Kimono My House (excellent). 8 vs. 2. Whatever.
