SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE

existential dread, subjective media and news reviews and opinionated but not necessarily well-informed commentary.

This may only be the preface to a raging reaction against the Yuppie-Boomer Scum Rag Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs of All Time. It may be all I have to say about this homogenized tribute to all that has been done over and over and beaten into the turd-strewn ground. To add further dismay and outrage, see Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums of All Time. Look, I am no more qualified than all the armchair prophets and self-satisfying pundits that spout off humorous bile to interpret the tastes of an absurd culture but I started this fucking thing and I want either praise or disagreement in my assessments. Please take a moment to look over these poo lists and please tell me I am not crazy in taking offense at my parents' music still being relevant in the eyes of a supposedly current left-of-center media music/news tabloid. Scumbags. This is a disaster. Fuck Bob Dylan, fuck The fucking Beach Boys (ENOUGH ALREADY), and yes, I am saying this, fuck The Beatles (up the bung-chute, unlubricated).Fuck Bruce Springsteen, a big fuck you to the Rolling Stones, and even U2 - go fuck off.
As for "classic rock," not enough Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Mountain, Iggy and The Doors (besides the obvious songs) on the list.
The ninties and current decade are offensively overlooked. Shame on you, Rolling Stone crap magazine. You are worse than Spin.

This is only a preface. You have not heard the end of this.
