I had more 'uncool' than 'cool' - which is good, because it would have seriously worried me if the situation were reversed. Though all-in-all not that many total on either list...funny, I've got about a million records/tapes/CD's. I'll take BOC's "Tyranny and Mutation" any day over "Secret Treaties," and The Trick's "Standing on the Edge" over "Heaven Tonight" if it's all about guilty pleasures. And you can't crack on Accept's "Balls to the Wall" if you're not willing to list Metal Church's "The Dark" as cool. Wasn't aware the Beatles were 'cool.' Whoa. I'll second the vote on "Bitches Brew" and wonder where P-Funk was. Poor Weezer doesn't really rate for either list. And "Monkees Greatest Hits" is squarely on the cool front, sorry and all that.

I'll utterly defend it - it's one of my top favorite TW albums, right alongside the Frank trilogy, and _Small Change_, indeed, slightly above _Bone Machine_, which I know will make a lot of TW fans gape. The instrumentation is amazing, and I love his vocals.

I'm glad that wasn't the case, but I had a hard time listening to the album for a while 'cos it sounded so final.
