the good thing about this thread is that having to write
only 5 you keep updating it all the time... if it were top
50 it would take ages to write the posts and to read them...
it would be a more static thread, this way the posts are
fast to read and assimilate and new ideas come to mind all
the time... I am glad how it is working

I like that we are seeing lots of stuff apart from idm

and besides even though if it were a top 50 we would have to
leave many tracks out... so no big deal... we can always
post again

uviol)

yes but the inherent problem with this thread, like all of
the album a vs. album b and artist a vs. artist b polls, is
it requires putting down other things you like or love just
for an arbitrary and relatively meaningless list. kind of
undermines the power of music to open people up to new
possibilities. that's why i tend to stray away from topics
like this one, it brings a brother down.
