Discovered that this list was released when Les Inrocks reported about it (intro joke of the Inrocks article: Big suspense: where did My Bloody Valentine land?). Well, n°1 is expected, n°2 will please many here, N° 6 is the highest ranking I've ever seen for this particular Verve album, n°25 is a shocker for being so low and no matter what, the list is currently ineligible. I miss Triángulo de Amor Bizarro, but there's a limit to what you can ask English-speaking critics, even when we're talking about a music genre in which lyrics are sometimes inintelligible.
The Inrocks article also reminds everyone that the genre was reviled in the late 1990s before being considered today the most influential music genre in the current wave of indie rock acts, which is something I agree with and has led me once or twice to claim that Loveless was currently the most influential rock album of the 1990s over OK Computer and Nevermind, which is a claim I still stick to. Rock is dead anyway, so that's no big deal.
