Awesome list, caley.

Thanks! Coming from someone with as great a list as yourself, it means a lot.

[arkin]

I have to co-sign with caley in that, essentially, this was a tough list to make, because there's so much stuff I didn't want to leave out, but did. So I'll probably think tomorrow, 'shit, I should have included...etc.' but I could do this all year and never be 100% satisfied. So...

Whoops, there's one I meant to include.

You are both weaklings.

Most people on this board won't have wanted to leave things out. My 101-200 is pretty fucking awesome. It's something we all have to go through.

I posted a list didn't I? I've come to terms with not wanting to leave things out. Still, I'm happy with my top 100.

excluding all Jazz

Why?

[taste the waste]

excluding all Jazz

Why?

Yeah, wtf vamos scorcho?

[vamos]

I'm not sure. I equate it with classical music, and it seems weird to include with a ton of rock and roll and techno. The experience is entirely different. Maybe I'll redo the list but it would go something like: 1. Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch 2. John Coltrane - Ascension 3. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless 4. Autechre - Draft 7.30 5. Andrew Hill - Point of Departure 6. Eric Dolphy - Out There 7. Miles Davis - Miles Smiles etc etc I really wish I could include classical because that shit has destroyed all music otherwise for me, for the most part

[Pavement Ist Rad]

Out To Lunch is in my top 50.

Maybe you just have issues w/ black people who are not Clipse.
