No, because that roster is expanding semi daily and I'm already picking a pretty broad range of material and allowing for surprises plentifully. Every single thing that I've lined up to check out/listen to in full represents 100 things not being put on the list. I fail to see how any other approach is even possible. Unless you just start from the top like Trollheart is doing with the wiki list, which your all telling him is retarded.

This is all general and not specifically about this VU album.

About that specific album, it really isn't too weird that I'm not feeling a great deal of enthusiasm about the idea of listening to it. Pretty damn consistently, over the last 10 years, I've had little except a shrug to offer for all the supposedly important and fantastic 60's, 70's and 80's rock albums (including sub-genres, of course) that I have given a shot. I mean, would Elphenor listen to whatever I have to recommend? Not until hell freezes over. It's the same situation, uh, sort of. Except I have some actual respect for people who enjoy music that I don't tend to care much about
