Americans are fools

 

[Brett]

I agree. A lot of us are sheep.

 

[Captain Beard]

Eagles be OOOOOKKKKKKK, Pink Floyd make nice solos sometime, but the rest are kaka.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

yeah, pink floyd is the only good album on that list in my opinion... but the soundtrack to the bodyguard? give me a fucking break...

yeah, and how much should have an illegal copy?

 

[Brooks]

The Wall is the best album on that list, IMO. The White Album is great too, though its got some filler in there, as even The Beatles will attest to.

 

[PlatypusJesus]

The list isn't too bad. I expected much worse.

 

[AsModEe]

I thought Metallica's Black Album would be on that list. Bah who cares anyway.

 

[DarkNoise]

you wanna know the real reason Zeppelin's fourth album is on that list? Because I've bought it a few million times myself. I swear to god, I've NEVER had a CD stolen from me so often. In high school I had that album stolen from me four times, and twice in middle school, and once since I started college.

I think Zeppelin and Floyd are the only real good ones on that list. I like the Beatles' Help album more (heresy i know). As for the Eagles.... my mom owns it. That's the only person I know of.

[REXHAVX]

..... shouldn't 'Dark Side of the Moon' be on that list?

 

[MethodicalWasteManagement]

Zeppelin, Boston, and Pink Floyd are all kickass bands indeed. FUCK EVERYONE OF YOU WHO DISAGREES.

 

[PlatypusJesus]

I hate Boston.....*shrugs* Fuck me if you want.

 

[neal]

Saw them live. Twice.
