Seems to me that the 'best' music from any decade is the stuff one likes the
most. Unless, of course, I don't like it, in which case it is objectively
bad.

You fat clown.
You probably did dream it, but unfortunately your credibility is rescued by
the fact that the lovely Real Roxanne seems to fit the bill...And yes, she
did have somnething of a foul mouth as I remember, reserving her venom
particularly for Roxanne Shante. 

Ah, hip hop slanging matches. Wouldn't it be good if Belle and Sebastian got
into a recorded slanging match with some of their contemporaries? Perhaps
they could see their way clear to 'dissing' Mogwai? A little vinyl spat
between a few bands, slinging the insults just for fun, that would be cool.
