Sure, Bobby W is a boring old biddie. But he's allowed to be. I don't make the rules.

The list probably doesn't need one of his 90's records however.

Glad old mate made it. Seems he's a big deal for certain types of guys. Not for me.

MIA is weird now haha.

Still not sick of repeating myself: this list doesn't require both MIA albums. Surely Kala is more essential

Mike Watt: top 10 guy.

Riddle of the 80s is such a tune. The rest, pretty 3 stars. They walked so Sebadoh could run.

RIP D. Boon

Speaking of fellas who changed the game. Rules but I cannot listen to an entire Beasties album, the yelling (especially Mike D) gets very grating.

Dated sure, but they grew with the times.

One day we'll be ready to have the discussion about whether this is a bit dated.

Call me contrarian but I've always found it mildly lame. I can accept that probably wasn't the case in the 70s. But that was also over 50 years ago.

Full wanker mode: can one of the top selling records of all time really have been all that progressive. Counter: it's still considered progressive 50 years later.

The good thing is albums of this ilk caused a visceral reaction in the underground and we got new types of interesting music as a result.

For all those reasons and more: generous 3 stars. I'd never put it on and often change the station if it's playing on the radio but can't full hate. On The Run goes hard.
