Indeed. And I didn't even say TPAB was a bad record. Hell, I think it's very good. It hit a huge chord with a lot of people who probably wouldn't listen to anything remotely jazz-inflected at gunpoint under normal circumstances. But people said the same "album of the century" stuff a few years back when Kanye West came out with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which was also pretty adventurous musically for a hip-hop record. Are those same people still saying that now though? That's why I find it difficult to take a list seriously that just catapults it to the top: it would be the same thing if the Internet existed back in '82 and all the major online publications saying Michael Jackson's Thriller was the most amazing record of that year. It's good....but is it worth drowning out everything else?
I guess time will tell if we're just looking at a case of hype machine gone rampant or not.
