OK, so I went to the site and it popped straight up with 'I Will Dare' by the Replacements in the mini-player. Good sign. Also, fuck yeah 'Marquee Moon' at #16. Needs to be higher - though, if given the chance I will piss and moan about the entire list ('Only Shallow'? Come on, 'Sometimes' is the definitive My Bloody Valentine song). They basically picked all the anthemic ones. And I doubt that a lot of them can be considered 'modern' at this stage - 'Space Oddity' must be from '71 or earlier, surely? And if you've got REM, the Replacements and Matthew Sweet in there, why the hell is there no Big Star? ARGH I'm serious on the internet
Note: also no Minutemen, Big Black or Pere Ubu - this list is so clearly incomplete that it's making me twitch in my Vans, nerd glasses and ironic trucker hat. I'm just that hip.
