[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8597083, member: 7023840"] I mean, there's no accounting for taste. And I certainly put some idiosyncratic choices in my top 10 (both of them). IIRC, no one has even mentioned classics like Stevie Wonder (Songs in the Key of Life) or Marvin Gaye (What's Going On) ... not to mention the Clash, Who, Kinks, Queen, Public Enemy, Dylan, Hendrix, Prince and Michael Jackson are tragically underrepresented. Oh. Wait. You're saying something happened with Michael? (googles) Oh. Never .... mind. ....but going with George Harrison's [I]All Things Must Pass[/I] before .... any Beatles album? I just can't. It was a very, very good album! Clearly, Harrison had a lot he wanted to get out (it was a triple album after all). And I certainly understand the impulse to want to rate underappreciated art more highly- I call it the Season 6 effect. Let me explain that. For reasons that are too complicated to get into here, I think S6 of Buffy is tragically misunderstood and underrated. In fact, I might have even said that it is the best season of Buffy ... probably after overconsumption of tequila. But ... it isn't. By pretty much any metric, S3 is pinnacle Buffy. I think that S6 has a good argument to be in the conversation as the second-best season (with S2), but to say it's the best is just ... overestimating how good it is because other people don't appreciate it at all. Same thing here. [I]All Things Must Pass [/I]is an all-time great album. But it's not even as quite as good as [I]Let It Be[/I], which is a middle-of-the-road Beatles album. It's not denigrating to Harrison to note that album is not as great as the best albums of arguably the best band to ever play. If nothing else, his songwriting just doesn't measure up (again, IMO).
