Pop Kulcher is a blog created by Marc Fagel. He drafted a list of 75 of the “Greatest Rock & Roll Albums of All Time” complete with commentary on each album. The original post no longer appears to be online, but I have cited Fagel’s commentary on albums throughout the DMDB. There’s also no indication of when this list was created, but the latest entry is Death Cab for Cutie’s Transatlanticism from 2003.
