Re: (TV) another greatest album list--a lot of shite if you ask me

If it's the American versions of albums then no wonder Revolver isn't No.1 .
Perhaps Yoko should release a US only version of Revolver with all the
McCartney tracks taken off and the dropped Lennon ones from the original US
release re-instated ?

And also , no OK Computer in the Top 20 ?

Worrying
