Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

Some surprises on that list. And some recency bias. Though that might be justified, in general, if not in all the specifics.


I've seen all the living ones, FWIW.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Yes, she was on the list. But, listed under her crazy husband's name.

Inclusion of Lang Lang is nice, but that list is simply not credible without Liberace and Richard Clayderman.

Yanni is better known as a composer than a (performing) pianist. So I am ok with giving them a pass for leaving out Yanni.
