Very good point, Brian.
The subjectivity of choosing the "hard examples" to fit in a confined
list is very strenuous for a fan.
Which is why I admire Mr Blair's efforts with Rhino on Cow: The Box Set
to narrow down specific songs.
Stated another way, could you ever just pick a single Beatles album as
their best? or to head off to a deserted island with? No wonder the "Red
Album" of #1s did so well, eh?
The same would be true of the bands in Brian's post...all great bands,
but which specific album of theirs represents a top Surf album of all
time?
Makes me think a Cow Box II: Modern era (for singles) would be easier,
because you'd have more groups represented, but some deserving names
would still get left off that list too.
It's a tough one.
