Though it doesn't 'flow' as well as Brian's.

: Brian Wilson's "Smile" would not

:
: (I finally found the list)
:
: Considering that the Brian Wilson
: "Smile" album was rank number 30
: in the top 100 album of all time back in
: 2007 ahead of Hendrix Are you experienced.
:
: Although albums may grow on you, it's very
: rare for an album to suddenly drop ratings
: (unless they are on the borderline between
: rating so I'm thinking Smile would be a
: banker for a E.)
:
: I'm not too sure if Brian Wilson would count
: towards the band rating of beach boys but
: unless he really like the more elaborate
: production effects of the Wilson remake of
: smile more than the improved singing in the
: Beach Boys Smile version. I'm thinking the
: beach boys version of Smile would get an E
: as well, maybe higher.
:
: What's interesting is that the only other
: album that is on the itinerary gets in the
: top 100 is Ween Mollusk which is in the 'D'
: region of the ranking.
:
: It's an out of date list though, so there
: were probably a lot of the bands he didn't
: heard yet that would now make the top 100
: (after all there were no flaming lips or The
: clash there which now there would be) and
: there would be some bands that probably grew
: on him over time that would graduate in that
: list as well.
:
: ALthough I have a feeling that there won't
: be many albums that go higher than D left in
: his itinerary.
