Very disturbing: Top 10 selling albums of all time

There are a lot of disturbing things in the world. Like, for instance, the fact that this is our first post on the blog this month. Or the fact that no one else besides me had the gravitas to admit that Peter Green was the best British blues guitarist of the 1960s and vote for him in our inaugural poll (more on that later...). But what's even more disturbing are some of the titles on this list of the top 10 highest-selling albums of all time. Few of the names on the list I can bring myself to mention. Fortunately, I can say I own only two of them (the Beatles and the Pink Floyd, in case you thought about suggesting otherwise). Barrett, on the other hand, he's probably got copies of at least seven. We'll see if he responds...

Our Philosophy:

The music press, both mainstream and independent, focus the bulk of their attention on "new music" -- the latest albums and hot new artists. But what if "new music" meant something else? What if it referred to music that, regardless of when it was originally released -- this week or 50 years ago -- was just now being discovered by an individual, or perhaps by a generation? Any music could be "new." This Web publication charts our travels along the road of discovery as we become aware and gain a greater appreciation of some of the best music ever recorded from genres including rock 'n' roll, jazz, folk, soul, funk and, perhaps most importantly of all, the blues.
