Thanks for this article, really enjoyed it.
I'm English and live in China so only had a vague idea of who this freak is. Now I appreciate fully his enormity.

Yeah, it's probably my favorite Oliver Stone movie. In that I think it's ok, and that all his other movies are fucking abysmal.

And the 1971 Milos Forman film "Taking Off"

Piers Morgan.
Oh, sorry, did you say "cult"?

As good as these thing are (and that's very good indeed by my reckoning) they might be disqualified from this question because pretty much everyone I know likes them.

They were so pointlessly dreary that I can't even work up the energy to properly hate them.

A short lived late 90s Glasgow band called The Male Nurse.
The lead guitarist died of an OD before they'd even released an album. I think I'm probably their only fan in the world.

Dexy's
Dexy's Midnight Runners had nine top 40 hits in the UK. Most people I know would say that their best song was "Geno" - another number one over here. They just happened to "break America" with their last big hit.

Dear America.
Sorry about sending you this worthless twat. Maybe you can let Mark David Chapman out for a weekend visit, let him give a bit back, you know.

Fuck!
Terrible news.

"Am" isn't the active verb, it's just the indication of the progressive aspect.
In "loving you" love is a gerund, there's no problem with that.

Dear Enrique Iglesias,
'Love' is a stative verb, you tedious hispanic cockmuncher.
This goes for you too, McDonald's.

Story of my life, Zebbart. Story of my life.

Probably controversial but I'd like to suggest the removal of Yellow Submarine from Revolver. Not a bad song, it just that it doesn't fit on there at all.

Electronic Renaissance?
Seriously, what? It's plainly one of the best tracks on a very strong album. Not only that, but the astonishing opening section is described as "atonal fuzz"?!?
If there's anything disposable on that album it would have to be the slightly-too-twee ballads "Mary Jo" and "We Rule the School", but…

There's a difference between opaque lyrics ans straight-out-shit lyrics, Drunk On Mysery.

Here are some of the lyrics to Don't Look Back In Anger:
