Not bad - I'd go along with a few of those. In some cases, like "Nevermind", I don't actually think they're bad records - it's just that they've spawned too many mediocre imitators and their influence has been assimilated to the point where their impact has dulled. In others, such as "Meat Is Murder" or "Dark Side Of The Moon" I find it hard to understand what all the fuss was about in the first place. Don't agree with Peter Hook's assessment of "TMR" and the tinny production on the first VU album is one of the things I love about it, but that's just personal taste.

As for what's missing, I'd nominate anything by the Clash. Can't understand why their po-faced, turgid stadium rock posturing is regarded as classic in anyway whatsoever.
