News > Mar 31 2009
As expected, much heated debate has begun over the shortlist, which was posted on the series' blog late last week and cut down from an original 597 proposals. Many online commenters are calling the shortlist "bland," "a bummer" and "a list completely tailored to books that will sell," while others are downright stoked on the choices, which include such selections as David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, Paul Simon's Graceland, Radiohead's Kid A, Slint's Spiderlandand Colossal Youth by Young Marble Giants.
