So What's In Your 200?
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Association of Recording Merchandisers released their take on the 200 definitive albums of all time.
So, did they get it right or miss the boat entirely? Larry and I did a scientific scan of all sounds in the Kuhn household and concluded that we have 40 of the Top 100 and only 70 of the Top 200! Guess, we're just not "definitive" listeners. Hmmmph!
So where are the 4 Seasons? And Elvis Costello? And Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde? HUH???

I went through our combined collection and we had 65 of the Top 100, and a total of 115 of the Top 200. There were many on that list that I don't consider that great or influential. AND, there were many artists who weren't mentioned at all. (Thank goodness Stu likes music I don't and vice versa, or our totals would have been much lower)
Wow! 115 of the top 200? That's pretty impressive. See, I think our family was at a big disadvantage by not owning any headbanger or rap music. They were both represented pretty well and I'm proud to say that we own nada from those two categories.
