I was reminded of the Néojaponisme post again a few weeks ago when I found my current mp3-blog favorite and realized that the Snoozer list still hasn't found its way to the English speaking part of the internet so I decided to post it.
I just had to get my hands on that list as well so that I could compare and listen my way through a pretty big chunk of rock history and got a friend of mine to hunt down a copy of the issue for me. It was the first time I had found a proper guide to Japanese rock history outside of "RC Succession, Happy End and YMO were important and probably this really obscure punk band I got from a vinyl rip trading site because they sound bad ass." In the post it is mentioned that Japanese music magazine Snoozer posted a list of 150 rock albums in response to RSJ's, according to them, boring list. When Néojaponisme posted Rolling Stone Japan's list of the 100 Greatest Japanese Rock Albums of All Time I was in heaven. Whenever I stumble upon a list with things I find remotely intresting I get a little bit hard.
