    My most unruly take is that Jarvis Cocker should be very low somewhere on here, if Lou Reed's on here, a guy who had a great discography but a 1-inch range, I think another speak-singer who could actually belt it out when he needed to deserves a place, Liam Gallagher too, but again, low

    Rolling Stone and American publications in general have never put on british invasion bands not named Oasis or Radiohead so nobody in north america has heard of Pulp or Suede which is a tragedy
