Rock Sound: 101 Modern Classics 1997-2012 (UK, 2012)
Posted: Sat Jul 22, 2017 3:12 pm
Running joke: another list just jumped at my face like a facehugger from Alien (oh, and Covenant sucks as a movie, by the way, just like pretty much everything made with the franchise on screen since David Fincher's one). Anyway, I was looking at Wikipedia's page for Converge's Jane Doe and there was a list of accolades featuring a list I didn't know from a magazine I didn't know either. The Rock Sound here is apparently an UK offshoot of the French mag of the same name, of which a list is already featured on AM. This one dates back from 2012 and was a list of the "101 modern classics" from the last 15 years (subtitled "the definitive albums you must own"). Unless my maths suck, it's 1997-2012 (there's one from 1995, though). I was going to just skip it, but I saw that #1 was Hybrid Theory and it just started to feel very awkward in the current context (this album at #1 already being weird notwithstanding). So, well, felt compelled to post it, and there you have it. Consider me posting this list as a tribute to Chester Bennington or whatever.
And also, talking about math, oh boy. And I hope you got your 16-years-old emo self still available somewhere.
I don't want to say stupid things, but I believe that a one-album-per-act rule is in place.
