New Classics - Music

First - great insult: Goblin Riding Groin Farmer

Here's EW's list of the 10 best "new classics" in music:

1. Purple Rain Prince and the Revolution (1984)
2. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Lauryn Hill (1998)
3. Achtung Baby U2 (1991)
4. The College Dropout Kanye West (2004)
5. Madonna Madonna (1983)
6. American Idiot Green Day (2004)
7. The Blueprint Jay-Z (2001)
8. Graceland Paul Simon (1986)
9. Back to Black Amy Winehouse (2007)
10. In Rainbows Radiohead (2007)

The whole list is here.

My list, sticking to things post 1999, is:

1. Knuckle Down - Ani DiFranco
2. Cookie: The Anthropological Mix Tape - Me'Shell Ndegeocello
3. Ain't Life Grand - Widespread Panic
4. The Miseducation of Lauren Hill - Lauren Hill
5. The Cookbook - Missy Elliot
6. OK Computer - Radiohead
7. Santana - Supernatural
8. Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen
9. Master of Puppets - Metallica
10. Under the Pink - Tori Amos

That was so far the hardest list to come up with.
