Re:Music to slit your throat by…
Hmmm.
I can’t figure out why The Odd Couple’s cover of You’re So Vain and Milton Berle singing Yellow Submarine (I even hate the Beatle’s version of this) aren’t on the worst list.
Um, Fabio’s Love Attack, maybe, too.
The albums I recognise from the good list seem to be influential in some way. As in they started a new sound trend (or were the first to break through with an underground sound), however long or short that trend lasted. None of them sound like any other album on the list, for instance.
In fact, for many of them I can remember the first time I heard a release from them and thinking things like, “Hey, this is going to change things.” Then listening in horror when lame imitators showed up a few months later to cash in.
