Some interesting comments here. The Beatles? Van Morrison? And those Neil Young comments, here in Canada slurring Neil is one of the few things that can get you poked in the nose.

It's a little off track, but in the late seventies I was given a copy of the biggest waste of vinyl ever. Lou Reed must have owed an album to his record company when he released "Metal Machine Music". This classic was a double LP with the fourth side blank. Sides 1-3 were identical in length, only because they were identical in content. Each side was approximately 18 1/2 minutes of feedback with someone (a really wasted Lou?) slowly turning knobs to change the tone and pitch. The album cover listed all equipment that was on the record. There was not one insrument listed, only a collection of mixers, amps etc.

Regardless of your musical taste, I believe in credit where credit is due. I can't imagine anything being a bigger waste of vinyl, Spice Girls included.
