wow this was fun!!

I'm already excited for next year when we we send in our top tens and then other people lament the community's poor/mundane taste in music, other people defend the right for other people have opinions, a few personality conflicts emerge, fans of x can't believe it ended up at position number y when z is all the way up at w! and finally the whole thing is swept under the rug because the list "blows" and nobody can stomach talking to anyone else anymore about their favorite albums.

sigh. it used to be so easy to sift through headset to get good recommendations. and I used to get so excited this time of year when people threw down their favorites and I got to go on a shopping spree to make me stupid happy for months

thank you matt for doing the list.
