It’s not all that handy, though. In fact, it’s not very useful at all. OK, it’s stupid. It’s their new Zagat Music Guide, which purports to rank the Top 1000 albums of all time. Why? Because America is no longer a manufacturing economy, or even a service economy -– it’s a ranking economy. We rank things. You need something ranked, you come to us.
