Their ranking: Rubber Soul (I've not heard of that album (I probably have it, and just don't know it's name on my MP3 player) Revolver Abbey Road Sgt Pepper
I'd go along with that ranking, though I prefer Sgt Pepper to Abbey Road. I notice that Rubber Soul tends to get a high ranking in a lot of lists. I suspect it's because it was a sort of crossover album between the songs they started out with and the music that was still to come. Same with Revolver.
Somebody said it was impossible to choose between Steve Perry and Freddy Mercury
Hmm, no. I mean, in fairness I never went to a Journey concert so Steve Perry might have been a terrific front man. And I loved his voice and quite enjoyed Journey's albums. But Freddie Mercury was a force, a showman for the ages.
Calvin & Hobbes For Better or Worse Bloom County Doonesbury Kathy
These were my five go-to in the paper as well, though I'd put Bloom County after Calvin and Hobbs. I remember I had a number of Cathy strips on the door of my freshman dorm room.
I miss newspaper comic strips. Some days I miss the 20th Century, in particular the 1990s and 80s.
I don't miss comic strips that much, largely because I found most of them pretty uninteresting. And the ones I did like had good runs. But I am missing the 90s and 2000s more these days because things do not look great ahead.
