Just had a browse through the Rolling Stones Coolest and Uncoolest albums lists. I didn’t do well.
Out of the cool ones, I arguably have Sinatra (though a different collection to the one they list), and I have Beatles’ Revolver on my “to buy” list. 2 out of 50. Ouch.
Uncool…
Shania Twain. I guess it makes it worse that not only do I have “Come On Over”, but I also have the rest of her records. And I listen to them, too… Oh dear.
“The Nevermind of lite country,” they call it. Is that ridicule or compliment or both, I wonder?
I also have Meatloaf’s Bat Out of Hell, which I love, incidentally. I think I have a John Denver album somewhere, not the one they mention, though. I don’t have Listen Without Prejudice (George Michael), as I now have Ladies & Gentlemen I’ve even dropped it off my “to buy” list. Pet Shop Boys’ Actually, I’ve got it. On tape (that must be the height of uncool by now). The Monkees – I have several of their records, not this one though. And I was going to buy Best of Bee Gees.
So 7 out of the 50 uncool ones. Not even enough to boast about that… Hey, who cares. Since when did I pretend to any sort of sofistication where music is concerned, really. Don’t get me started on lyrics though…
Music in my head: Don’t Get me Wrong
