wow. that should teach me to read your entire post before I move on to the list. I saw, "50 coolest albums of all time" and started reading the list. I was incredulous. I couldn't believe the CRAP they had picked! ok, I'm an idiot. I own none of the uncoolest albums and own 1, 2, 5, 8, 14, 18, 19, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 39, 40 and 48 from the "cool" list. judging by the albums I have, I'm half-cool.
