I think my favorite part of the Amazon list is how they list Radiohead’s “Pablo Honey” as having “Explicit Content” and yet, do not make any such citation on “Enter the Wu-Tang”. Hysterical.
Some glaring omissions:
Stone Temple Pilots, “Core”
Counting Crows, “August and Everything After”
And, uh, what the hell? Am I out of my mind or is Led Zeppelin not on this list?
Yes STP would have been a good one!
Zep’s Zep’ did make it. It’s #4 on the list (click the link at the bottom)
I guess I am out of my mind. I scanned right past that! Good thing, too. I’d have been angry if it weren’t on there.
