Here's a fun article from The Guardian where Wayne Coyne, Art Brut and some others de-myth some of the greatest rock and roll records ever...or are they? Coyne's take on Nirvana's "Nevermind" is particularly funny.
Sgt. Pepper is dead!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

If you enjoy this, try the book that it so completely ripped off!
"Kill Your Idols: A New Generation of Rock Writers Reconsiders the Classics" (Paperback)
by Jim Derogatis (Author), Carmél Carrillo (Author)
"Roly-poly Chicago Sun Times' rock reviewer DeRogatis coedits this collective rebuttal to the canon of great rock albums established by the graying likes of Greil Marcus ("self-appointed Dean of the Rock-Crit Academy West Coast"), Robert Christgau ("self-appointed Dean of the Rock-Crit Academy East Coast"), and Rolling Stone best-album features over the years."
I like how one Amazon reviewer names Derogatis "Music's most malevolent critic." He & fellow chicagoan Greg Kot have a rack-n-roll talkshow on NPR-- check your local listings for "Sound Opinions."
