Now that many of the polls are in and the de facto 'classics' of the noughties have been canonised and categorised, I was really disappointed to see some of my favourites barely represented. Wondered if the Massive agreed.

Overrated:
01. Radiohead Kid A
Ear-wrenchingly awful, portentous, self-absorbed and po-faced non-rock.

02. Wilco
Downhill from Being There - self-consciously dirtying up their sound and contriving to sound more atonal can't get away from the slowly diminishing returns from each album thereafter.

03.Animal Collective
There's only so far you can take Beach Boys harmonies and blissed out samples - especially when The Besnard Lakes did it so much better (see underrated).

04. The Strokes
New wave Power Pop but with nothing new (c.f. New Pornographers).

05. Bon Iver/Fleet Foxes
CSNY.

06. Arcade Fire.
Rock music as if played by The Men They Couldn't Hang. Dire.

Underrated:

01. Okkervil River
Black Sheep Boy and The Stage Names are surely some kind of lyrical high watermark?

02. New Pornographers
A body of work in the Noughties that takes the Power Pop torch from the Db's and hits new highs.

03. Besnard Lakes.
Better than Animal Collective.

04. Bonnie Prince Billy
Superwolf.

I've been playing my 15yr old son 'Mongoloid' by Devo.
"Dad, what's Mongoloid?".
"Well, son, it's a perjorative term for someone with Down's Syndrome".
"Oh", he says. "Should you be playing that?".
"Well, son, Devo were post-modern ironists. I'm sure they didn't mean it in a perjorative sense".
"But, still, it's a bit disturbing that you're listening to it. I mean, I like the music, it's cool and that but...you know".

Do I know? Should I be listening to 'Mongoloid' pounding out from my car's tiny speakers at full chat? What if someone with Down's heard it? I keep imagining toe-curling, 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' moments..

Got me thinking, too, about another great song - 'Thirteen' by Big Star. However much I've tried to convince myself that it can't possibly be about a young man's love for a thirteen year old girl I think the line: "I'd be an outlaw for your love" disproves that. That, and common sense.

My daughter's 12. I love the song. What's a man to do? Play it sneakily, quietly on an encrypted iPod?

Thank God I never liked Michael Jackson. But I do hanker after Gary Glitter. Sometimes.
