*NOTE: Where songs from the albums could not be located, appropriate substitutes were selected.
2. As a result of Note 1 above, this list is subjective as hell. Deal with it. Do I really think that the Connells, the Young Fresh Fellows, or Yo La Tengo are "better" (whatever that means) than, say, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix? Probably not. But I got sick of Zeppelin and Hendrix midway through puberty; the Connells I still listen to all the time. In my mind, that's a lot more important.
3. The list is limited to one album per artist to maximize variety. To me, there is nothing more boring than yet another Rolling Stone or Spin Top 100 list with a dozen Beatles, Stones, and Dylan albums up at the top. I recognize that this decision is somewhat artificial -- there are plenty of Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Who, Floyd, etc. albums that are far superior to many of the discs on my list (even measured by my highly subjective "how often do I play the damn thing" standard). But as the main reason I've made this site is to share my musical obsessions with others, and hopefully to expose people to a few new things, I think the one-album limitation keeps things far more interesting.
4. I hope you learn something and, just maybe, decide to run out and buy something new. If you have any comments (or just think I'm an idiot), I'd love to hear your feedback; you can read some of the feedback I've received here. Please note, however, that if you insist on berating me for concluding that Yo La Tengo's albums are better than Led Zeppelin's, yet you have never heard a Yo La Tengo album, I reserve the right to conclude that you are an idiot.
5. Like a preview? Or just something to listen to in the meantime? Selected tracks from most* of Pop Kulcher's Greatest Rock & Roll Albums can be found on the playlist below. Turn up the speakers!
