47. System Of A Down - Toxicity

I just listened to this today, and reminded myself how great it is. Wish I'd included it now. I like it because it takes me back, but apart from that it's a fucking great record.

nice

050 Portishead - Third

really? you loved it that much already?

[Heretix]

Elastico and my own placement of Dirty Mind, Smiths and Murmur are almost identical. Considering Dirty Mind at 5/6 especially, I'm kind of scared.

[Badger]

050 Portishead - Third

really? you loved it that much already?

I'm pretty sure I do, yeah. It might slip back over a year or two but it's certainly the record I played most over last year, by a long way, so it's good for its place at the moment.

Although I think that album sucks, I agree with the logic behind your list. Mine is the same way. Basically the albums I listened to the most the last year.

[cerebralcaustic]

here's Elastico's for now:

What's with the posting of other people's lists? Should a list even be eligible if the person doesn't have the balls to post it themselves?

Odessey & Oracle is sounding amazing right now. How the fuck am I supposed to rank this

[Tongue-Tied]

i like seeing the fragile in these lists. love that album.

[Pavement Ist Rad]

here's Elastico's for now:

What's with the posting of other people's lists? Should a list even be eligible if the person doesn't have the balls to post it themselves?

He said he couldn't post it from his account, I don't know.

He has a bunch of posts here and that's the list that he made... it's Paul's call.

[James D]

can't believe Elastico is banned from here brilliant poster

[WP64]

Don't get the concept of people trying to like albums, personally. If you think it's shit, listen to stuff you like instead.

You have no idea how many albums I have listened to that first time around I hated and now I can't get enough of. One of those albums right now for me is last years Portishead. Listened to it a few times last year and I though meh, don't get all of the hype. I think I am finally starting come around. Sometimes though you have to listen to some other stuff and then go back to it and for whatever reason it might just click.

[The Luscious Phil]

Wow, so people listen to classic records huh?
