Bjork...what's she all about?

BTW, in another lifetime, after Desert Storm, I moved to a small island to work, and wound up running the radio station in my spare time...it had a vinyl library going back to 1952. I could reach blindly into the stacks and pull out enough gold for a six hour shift in minutes. Sadly, though, the station went to a satellite feed a few years ago (in my absence), the record library was remodelled into a conference room, and ALL of that precious, irreplaceable vinyl was hauled to the dump, and eventually burned. When I returned last year and found out this news, I cried.

That's just sad. And not at all uncommon either, I'm sure. Thankfully, records are still plentiful and cheap at thrift stores and the like. But I hate to think of how many obscure, irreplaceable albums are gone because of radio stations, libraries, etc. chucking them.

And yeah, as others are saying, I can think of a ton of albums that are a lot cooler than these. Just where in the heck do they get off not including Dark Side of the Moon, anyway?
