Eminem has TOTALLY fallen off in quality since that album. But Lars is right, CD & The Em Show really are 2 of the best from this decade.

Other than you are a huge fan of the band what makes Chinese Democracy higher than 23rd for an entire decade (of which it was only available for 13 months)... really just a general question, because I feel it should be higher, but I'd like to hear someone elses explianation... Currently all I have for my argument is 'because I said so"  8)

I often think it's weird that lots of good musicians (or musicians of music that i like) have such lame taste in music  :P gonna check out a couple of bands on lars's list though

I had pretty much completely forgotten the Arctic Monkeys even existed until this list.

my opinion, but i thought that list was awful..i mean truly terrible.

In any case, in these sorts of articles the music celeb is usually given a list from which they choose.......

I mean does anyone honestly believe that "ok computer" is slashs best album of all time?

me thinks not...

For rock music, OK Computer is what Les Demoiselles D'Avignon is for painting
