Cuz... I did. Thinking back, I'm not sure why I went to the trouble, since it's just been sitting in my pages app, taking up space. After a year of personal score keeping, excessive trips to record stores, and a whole lot of wasted time that could have been spent on more important things, I completed my list.
So I'm fucking posting it here because if everyone is equally ambivalent about my opinions (not just anyone's, but MINE... ME! A bonafide really big music fan you've never met, who lives an oppressively ordinary life and is, essentially, nothing to you! Just trust that I'm an expert on something , or whatever.)

If nobody saw it, I'd feel much worse about all the time that went into this goddamn thing.
I stand by it well enough, so I guess it's a success in that regard.
Please, let me not me the only one who did something like this.
Post your lists and make me feel better.
