I’d bump Revolver down a peg or two, Abbey Road up, Rubber Soul up, Sgt. Pepper up, and MMT down a few to make room for it all. But what do I know? Jonathan has more Beatles lore in his left eyebrow than I do in my, um, brain. Not sure what he’s planning to count down next, but let me presume to recommend Led Zeppelin, R.E.M., and live Phish shows. Me, I’m calling dibs on a They Might Be Giants countdown. One of these days.
