well, you would say that

alexis petridis never edited hip hop connection! i think he worked for some dance mags, not HHC though.
the R&B choices are a bit weird - are brandy's second album or aaliyahs third *really* good albums? great singles, of course, but not sure about anything more than that. these lists should allow for best ofs or greatest hits albums cos sometimes those are the artists' best albums.
supreme clientele?! are you serious??
Alexis Petridis never edited Hip-Hop Connection. He worked for Mixmag when Dorian Lynskey was editor, then edited Select. In fairness to the guy, working for Mixmag for a couple of years would probably make me pray for the death of dance music, too.
I've gotta say I prefer Supreme clientele as well. Productions better on Ironman
I can't help but think a "1000 albums to strenuously avoid hearing before you die" could have been a lot more entertaining to read.
sizzla is in - 'black woman and child'
Can't say I listen to his albums often, but my memory is that Praise Ye Jah was always his best.
