A list.

I'm in work and am hideously bored so I'm going to list 110 of the best albums IN THE WORLD EVER (according to me). They're not fully in order but I may rearrange. I may write reviews over time for people who are unfamiliar with each and want to listen to any of them (and I can probably provide links too for people who may want to listen). I LOVE WRITING LISTS so this is a huge deal for me.

Looking forward to it!

That was an interesting list. Glad to see some Redd Kross up there. The other day Urb changes his avatar, and now people seem to be mentioning them everywhere! Personally, I love the pedal on the intro to "Linda Blair" so much. For me, the best song on the album.

Sorry but I can't let you do this.

Just kidding of course, that is a sweet list and this is going to be fucking awesome!

I like the albums by Hole and Slowdive, but otherwise I'm not sure it matches up to the albums I like.

Oh man I totally forgot to fulfill this thread of mine. I will get round to it.

Jonts · 04-16-2015, 03:46 AM

And there was me thinking I was the only person who had even heard of JJ72

I have never owned a single one of those. Guess we'd be a pretty bad music hang.

Holy hell. I actually have drafts up of blurbs I'd written for this thread but never got round to posting, a lot of the time I'd come on here in work when it was quiet and then the site started getting blocked and I generally stopped posting on here, but I've started again now..

This is a great list, if I don't say so myself.
