The I Love Music Top 100 records list is up. I own only 18 of them. The results reveal some interesting opinions on what's cool, what's not, and what probably is cool and therefore isn't. It's a very I-went-to-college-in-the-mid-90s list. I didn't vote, so have no real right to complain about the list, but no Pulp? No Blur? No Pet Shop Boys? No St Etienne? No Human League/Soft Cell/Depeche Mode? Instead, two bloody Manic Street Preachers albums?

Still, it's a more eclectic list than usual, and I do own four of the top five:
5. Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
4. Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs
3. Abba - Gold
2. Britney Spears - "Baby One More Time" (single)
1. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
