In what weird and obscene alternate Earth is a Dexys Midnight Runners album better than A Night at the Opera?

Doesn't matter which one or who by, as long as they committed suicide Some awful album by a band only famous because John Peel discovered them Album by a barely-known but 'quirky' female artist A Motown album: anyone will do to establish my street cred. Ditto a 1920s Delta Blues album - by any old geezer, as long as he's black and has been on a chaingang A jazz album by Bleeding Gums Murphy Whatever album is out next by the next big thing accoridng to NME An unlistenable John Cale album Some classical music: it doesn't matter which piece as long as it's obscure Something by Dream Theater Something by Transiberian Orchestra Exile on Main Street by the Rollin Stones One of Dylans's early albums Dylan's latest album There, no Queen and totally non-partisan Have I proved how open-minded and street cred I am yet? If not, I can always throw in some Irish folk music...
