BOC:/OFF: The *real* top 100

[K Henderson]

Hi again...

Just realized that they have a handful of other lists from this VH-1 series,
including what I see as the 'real' Top 100 of all-time list.  Instead of
albums, this is of 'hard rock artists.'  Hard to see how Black Sabbath can
finish second here (deservedly) and not get a single album into the top 100.

I was a bit surprised that I still only came up with 41% of these artists in
my collection of a few thousand CD's, but then they seemed to think that
Ratt, Quiet Riot, Foreigner, and Meat Loaf were somehow worthy of mention,
diluting the final numbers.

I promise I'll stop now.  At least this time, I found BOC here!  Being below
Korn though (one of the most awful bands I ever had the pleasure of
seeing...for exactly two songs following Monster Magnet) makes me want to vomit.

Grakkl (FAA)

P.S.  Including Spinal Tap is rich.
