Why do the Beatles got to be on the top of every list?

Thank god this is here to inform me that 'August and Everything After' is a better album then 'Grace' and 'Appetite for Destruction' is better then 'The Velvet Underground and Nico'. When will these people actually learn that counting up votes only represents the amount of people who have had a musical concept successfully marketed towards them. I absolutely refuse to believe that Steely Dan have an album that's better then 'Nevermind', who do these people think they're fooling?

On the plus side they have some interesting names attached to top ten lists at the end of the page... Gang of Four are a good thing.

Because they were amazing.

I always find those lists to be funny though. That listing for instance, has Dave Matthews Band - Before These Crowded Streets at number 94. Way behind both Crash and Under the Table and Dreaming. BTCS is without a doubt their best album so it is peculiar to see that.

I think everyone could understand The Beatles having made some of the best music of all time, but these people maintain that out of the ten best record's ever made, five of those are from the Beatles. These polls are always the same though, and yet every one of them seems to be hugely popular, they all pretty much say the same thing though... "The Beatles, Dylan and The Stones are great, so are other people."

MTV always used to do the top 100 videos ever etc. Somehow Nirvana-Smells Like Teen Spirit was always number one.

Trying to cover up the fact that Nirvana hated them so much... I often wonder how they ever agreed to play that unplugged show.
