... And WTMD's #1 is........

[helen99]

So... WTMD finally got to #1. The way they arrived at the list (they said) was by votes of the listeners. I had no idea that indie listeners liked old music so much. Most of my favorites were completely missing from the countdown. I doubt they even know who Woflsheim is, and where was the *real* greatest album of all time, "Fragile" by NIN? To its credit, the winner is a very, very Britsh piece of work, which lends it 50 points of charm aside from its musical worth, which is prodigious.

The greatest album of all time, according to the listeners of WTMD 98.7, 105.5 is:

The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

WFUV's listeners put Bob Dylan at the top of the heap:

What's up with putting all the 60s guys at the top? What's up with the "greatest albums of all time" to begin with. Do you mean to tell me that from the time albums first came out (1915 or something?) until the present time, nobody else was able to top Dylan or the Beatles? I think they were great, don't get me wrong, but um, WHAT ABOUT DR. DEMENTO?????!!!!! er... I'm back now.

And where was William Shatner's The Transformed Man? Surely, his version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" is the definitive version that has been embedded in our culture!

Right - what I meant to say was, "the kinds of things that were played on the Dr. Demento Show" -- not Dr. Demento himself - he was a radio show host, not a musician, after all... However, he may have done a bit better than Mr. Shatner did with Mr. Tambourine man had he given it the old college try!
