Exactly. I was thinking 1906-2006 as well.

how can anyone answer this unless they're at least 100 years old or so, themselves? Something tells me the people who made this list were conceived right around the time the Spice Girls hit it big...

Saturn said:

So, are you being funny?

do you think that at the end of this century, the music coming out now will be ignored in "best of" lists the way popular music from the early 20th century is ignored in all the "best of the century" lists?

Anx said:

Yes. Nobody is gonna listen to us ramble on about our crusty old "albums."

I love both "Reveal" and "Around the Sun". "I've Been High" from "Reveal" is one of the best tracks of their career, IMHO.

I was curious. I just recently get New Adventures in Hi Fi, and got some of the older stuff (My personal favorite is Murmur). But I cant find a lot of people telling tha Reveal or Around the Sun are good albums...
