live at the harlem square club is not just the greatest live album ever, it's on a very short list of greatest albums ever. every song is a definitive performance, and many of them are on par with "A Change is Gonna Come." perfect record.
#1 Record is Big Star's best. but this is coming from someone who has The Velvet Underground as VU's best, so. (they're pretty much the same record, at least in tone) All Things Must Pass is better than most Beatles record, and every Beatles solo record. Paul has some good ones, though. Stories is probably the third or fourth best PJ Harvey album, but it's likely the highest on the list. oh well. -- Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear.

It's fine if you think otherwise.
This is not what you think! You think the line is garbage and Sony should die.

I'm ignoring the other two arguments because they're so dumb. There's absolutely no reason to dismiss three entire consoles with a huge library of diverse, well-received games as "garbage." Even if you couldn't find a single appealing reason to enjoy a Playstation 1, 2, or 3, it's laughable that you assume your preferences apply to everyone. Even more laughable is that you're dismissing a television line with over 50 models as "overpriced." Every single TV they make: overpriced. There are legitimate problems with their television line - starting with the fact that there are over 50 models - but to casually dismiss every model they have because they're overpriced and thus the company should no longer exist is dumb.
So, yes, I ignored those two silly arguments and went back to your original silly argument: you made a bad purchasing decision - not Sony's fault - and so Sony should die. -- Love is better than anger.
