So it seems as if GP's selection of that album is sort of based on GP's award.

Also, you have to remember that when Goo came out it was hailed by Joe Satriani as the best guitar album of the year and you know half of GP's readership and the editors considered him a god so Goo was able to at least get a "chance" to be recognized by the masses. And by the time Dirty came out nobody gave a fuck about Joe anymore. But GP if I remember back then was the one guitar mag that recognized alternative music to a certain extent. I think Reeve Gabriel's (?? or was it Gabriel Reeves?, the Tin Machine guy) column was in that one.
