M Daddino: Really, there is only one question: are you now, or have you ever been Jann Wenner?The Prosecution will now prove that the defendant is actually Blob Guccione! (as he rips off the defendants mask)
Keith: Then who's the guy who always puts Trans-Europe Express, London Calling, Remain In Light and Nevermind on those lists?I suspect a mutant strain called Rockistum Nirvanistus (and the even more depraved Rockistum Pavementistsus) are to blame. This is obviously the fault of mad scientist crossbreeding KotC's with Indie Thugs. (PS: a mix of KotC/Indie Thug and Pop Thug is what causes ABBA Gold to show up on the top of some recent lists.)

To be honest the whole article is a satire of both (a) the prevailing attitudes of certain segments of rock critic-dom and on a lesser but still important note (b) the need for music geeks to throw labels at each other (part of this article -- especially the Indie Thug vs. Pop Thug bit -- was inspited by various ILM postings, i.e. the "Indie Guilt" threads etc.). Almost every blog and website that linked to this article remarked "I wonder which kind I am", which I found pretty amusing.

America was clearly top nation, and pop music history came to a .
