i have 2000-2017 decided but doing another 30 years would take effort and i dont like effort
butcherboy
07.27.17

VaxXi
07.27.17
the albums before like, 1985, were very easy to pick out. it was when i started getting to newer years where i struggled with choosing my definitive favorite of the year.
Ryus
07.27.17
yeee 37 and 39 were my picks too
Conmaniac
07.27.17
38, 40 and 49-51 are alllll solid even if they aren't my absolute favs from those years so nice
this is getting a bit ridic tho, too many of these
theBoneyKing
07.27.17
whow 39 sounds cool
sweet list, your taste is so eclectic
also please tell me I'm not the only user who doesn't know an album from every year between 67 and now
VaxXi
07.27.17
39 is soul crushing, recommended listening is late at night and alone in a dark room. and thanks :p
also, you might be.
zakalwe
07.27.17
Some of these are absolute shite
Ryus
07.27.17

Conmaniac
07.27.17

VaxXi
07.27.17

Conmaniac
07.27.17

wtferrothorn
07.28.17
I'd hop on this train, if only I listened to, like, any older music. Great list man!
Demon of the Fall
07.28.17
Yeah, these lists just make me realise how little pre-80s stuff I've actually listened to. I've got a lot of catching up to do.

rabidfish
07.28.17

VaxXi
07.28.17

AlexKzillion
