i kinda thought that too but it was pretty much in line with the participation we've gotten in past years.

Anathema at 44,

Not one of those made my list though a couple came close (like Delta Spirit and Anathema).

Surfer Blood was awesome. It would have made my list, anyway.

Weight of Darkness was at least interesting.

STP was pretty forgettable.

this has to be among the world's most embarrassing ten albums.

No 39 - Train

sorry, being sassy here. I am only hating on about half of these, the rest have indifference.

Well that's why these are at the bottom, now if we get to the top 10 and we still have a bunch of hate posts, then fkk.

No love for Year of No Light?

Did i mispell it? Blame the first list that i copied it from then

Oh and i forgot to bring the list into work with me today. Hopefully i'll have time to post the next 10 albums tonight otherwise there will be a two-fer tomorrow i guess. Sorry. I know you're all wetting yourselves in suspense here.

This messed up my whole day.

i'm all giddy with excitement over here

You and me both!
