The Jeff Hostetler of Blogs

Here's a fun little article. While I disagree with the notion of The Marshall Mathers LP and Graceland being hipster wanna-be albums, some of the others, especially all the British rock and "trip-hop" ones, I can kind of see. It's funny how there aren't any token classical, country, or metal albums. I guess those genres are just too uncool these days, at least for people "in the know". If I were to make a list like this, I'd probably have to throw on an R.E.M. album (Automatic for the People or Out of Time) and Daft Punk Homework, though Moby (kinda, sorta, not really) already covers this territory. Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, or Jamiroquai if I wanted a more American demographic. Oh, and just in case Eli ever reads this, Gorillaz too. Of course, no offense intended if you own any of those. Heck, I own eight off of this guy's list, not including CD-R's. I guess that makes me 2/3 Dido zombie. No shame though, as I absolutely love six of them. Out of the others, I like one and am ambivalent towards the other. If you're good, maybe you can guess which ones I'm talking about.
