Thoughts...

[That Skipping Rope.]

lol Okay...

[sleepy eat pepper]

There are some good albums on there.

Of course, it's a completely bullsh*t list.

But still, I have like... 1/2 of those albums and I listen to them regularly.

[backintime]

Where is Leona's album? /outrage

[backintime]

But really, it's a decent list, some great albums on there. I just find lists like this a bit redundant.

[That Skipping Rope.]

The fact that The Reminder is on and not Let It Die kills all credibility this list could have had.

[RedDragon]

I own 0 of those albums! But I think I have like 6 on my computer.

[skunk]

i have 10 of em, but only 1 sonic youth album? blender is seriously on my black list now, first the common thing now this. btw, im seeing sonic youth in feb and theyre playing daydream nation IN FULL

some of their choices are bizare, arular but not kala? oh inverted world but not wincing the night away? the greatest but not cat is free? theres ALOT that coulda been on there.
