criticizm & critique well taken...and I agree with you, Capt. Beefheart should have made their cut, and I wonder why Talking Heads weren't mentioned. For that matter, what about the B-52's?

I'm surprised they didn't think at least of More Songs About Building And Food, though I have to admit - dearly though I love that album - I'd have gone with Remain In Light. I'm taking a wild guess that, with the B-52s, their almost absolute-party ethic was the turnoff for the smugger-than-thou contingency on the Rolling Stone panel in question. Personally, I wouldn't trade one chorus of "Rock Lobster" for the whole damn Madonna catalogue.

And they did give Isaac Hayes's Hot Buttered Soul some props, after all. (They should have: Barry White only forged an entire damn career out of ripping off Isaac's cool...)
