^this, saying you hate an entire decade of music is more ignorant and stupid than saying you hate an entire genre of music, so you're either lying to yourself or you are uninformed as fuck. surely there is plenty of 80's music you dig.

Right now it is, until further notice.

When you have a ten favorite albums list of the 2000s-2010s, and Elton John is the newest artist on it, something may be wrong. I'm just sayin'.

Here's my full top 200 on RYM http://rateyourmusic.com/lists/list_vie ... 00&start=0

that list is as DDD as it gets, with a surprise albums at number 26 and 29 for which you get my personal admiration

Late for the Sky? Finally, someone else who appreciates how awesome that album is.

Thanks, man! The significant growth of my tastes in music is mostly due to skimming the threads and seeing what you guys love, so I'm very grateful. 26 and 29 are albums that I heard a lot because of my parents, and those albums fortunately happened to hold up.


Fuck yeah, broseph. And it wasn't even because of Taxi Driver.

I think the Queen is Dead is now officially my favorite album of all time, jumped above innervisions.

I do like that album a lot, but i always thought the title track was a bit of a drag.

I do agree with you on that to a certain extent, but the album works absolutely wonderfully, and I actually really like the title track, though by no means is it among my favorites.

My favourite from the album.
