I would have liked Pet Sounds and Forever Changes to have been kept on the list. Forever Changes is classic druggy melodic psychedelia.
For some odd reason I've never appreciated the music of Radiohead with the same level of intensity as most of the band's hardcore fans. And it's not for lack of trying to like Radiohead... I own most Radiohead's acclaimed albums: The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A and In Rainbows and I'm still wondering why so many people find Radiohead such an extraordinary band. I don't hate the band but I can't think of a single song of theirs that stands out as a masterpiece of pop music.
