First off, I'd like to put out a pre-emptive message to cultural traditionalists that are obviously influenced by whatever they are told to think by national publications and the stuffy-headed literati of the world. Ladies and jellyspoons - YOU'RE WRONG. Quality is not contingent on the instigation of trends, and as such, works that are significant only in their role as figureheads of society's wandering interests should not be recognized. Instead, I'd like to present these lists as enumerations of those cultural outputs which have either stood the test of time or hold the promise to do likewise.
And besides, it's my opinion. Wanna rebut? Email me. Or bite my pucker. Whichever gets you high. |
