The Top Ten Albums of the 21st Century: A Knock ‘em Down, Drag ‘em Out Verbal Slugfest (Chapter 5)

Area: 
Presenter: 
Lawrence Pitilli (St. John's University)
Presentation type: 
Paper
Abstract: 

As part of this panel I will argue that one album in Craveonline’s “Top Ten Albums of the 21st Century…So Far” is overrated and should be replaced by another album.I will spend twelve minutes on my rejection and selection and three minutes attacking the decisions of one of my fellow panelists/combatants. To ensure a lively debate and to avoid duplication in album selection or panelist under attack, my fellow three panelists(Tom Kitts, Nick Baxter-Moore, Scott Henderson)and I will coordinate our selections prior to the conference. The panel will be chaired by me. None of our individual papers have a title. Lawrence Pitilli

Scheduled on: 
Thursday, November 3, 11:00 am to 12:15 pm
