i dont get the whole "I am not putting the Beatles in a list of other top albums because its not fair" argument. it just means they should be # 1, then you can vote for your other favorite albums after that. strange days indeed.

I think I'm gonna start work on this during the afternoon.

Somebody recommend something I haven't heard, but probably should have, and should vote for, in this poll...right now.

Sorry, wasn't in then. But: Boysetsfire - The Misery Index.

No repeat artists.

Maybe I'll try this.

I wouldn't if I were you. It's pathetic.

[stignasty]

if your list dosn't contain at least one Beatles album its pretty worthless.

just saying.

If everyone liked the same thing there wouldn't be much point in doing this.

Drive Like Jehu, Yank Crime

Now that is a very good album.

[elcorazon]

stig, who are you and when did you still my cd collection? seriously, your list is eerily similar to mine, or at least the albums I will consider when I make my list. You're missing some Kinks albums though on the list. And Pet Sounds won't be on my list... you must be my age though.

[Friend Catcher]

I wouldn't if I were you. It's pathetic.

And why would that be pathetic?

[arkin]

I need to get moving on putting a list together.

Friend Catcher's list is pretty great though. Particularly John Cale...good to know I'm not the only one voting for Fear.
