That was a joke on how people will say they hate or love something online for cred but feel the exact opposite in real life. I used to deal with people like that a lot on my first forum. I could tell because their best album charts were so freakin' fanboyish and predictable. Their top tens all pretty much looked the same.

The joke was you probably actually like the song.

Trust me I've heard it before and I cringe. I'm an unabashed fan of Blink 182 and my top tens aren't conpletely like these other guys.

As far as I'm aware, MB is a lot more sensible than that cheap, fanboy/troll central that has a Coldplay album in their overall top 100 rather than ANY hip hop and very little jazz. It's an extremely dadrocker-hipster chart because apparently there was some screwy war between them there. I'm positive a top 100 chart would be vastly different here, and more sensible... even if three Beatles albums end up in the top ten, it would be way more sensible.

Who has the patience to come up with a Top 100 of anything?

I've got a top 1000. It's a little hobby I had on RYM. I had a chart of every album I had ever heard from best to worst. I just added a new on every time I heard a new album. I've stopped editing it.

And you wouldn't be surprised at how mnany people have top 100's for everything. Top 100 hip hop albums per year is something one of the mods did. He'd even go as far as 250.

If I were to do a top 1000 that's how I would do it.

:rofl:

I want to do some too!
