   One of the comments at the bottom of the page caught my eye:

   Yeah, because any list by Rolling Stone is TOTALLY worth its salt. Like their best albums of 08 list, for example:

   http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/24958695/albums_of_the_year/31

   Here’s an excerpt from it, for those who don’t want to bother clicking.
   2. Bob Dylan – Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series Vol. 8
   7. Coldplay – Viva La Vida
   9. Metallica – Death Magnetic
   12. Guns N Roses – Chinese Democracy
   17. BB King – One Kind Favor
   39. Taylor Swift – Fearless
   40. Jonas Bros. – A Little Longer
   41. AC/DC – Black Ice

   Let’s hear it for the old guard of rock journalism!

   I love how people were actually offended by this correlation, as if it’s really supposed to be supporting anything. It’s not meant to be a serious Rockist position, is it? I thought it was just a funny coincidental thing that looked good on a graph.

   Maybe the best rock in the world is actually being made in Saudi Arabia now?
