Then I guess it shouldn't exist, because your "comprehensive" list will be based on the OPINIONS of those who respond, and only those whorespond. And opinions are like......

Here's my opinion. There's too much great music and too much personal taste for there to be a list like this of any real "relevance". Unlessyou mean "relevance" in the sense of relevant to Niketalk for a week.

I find it ridiculous when people want to narrow down music into a list of 5-10-20-25 of any category. Music is too big for that.

What is hip hop?

 

[dapper d]

I rather to the end of the year to do this...

 

[airforce1s]

add alchemist-first infantry to the list

 

[incredibleev]

that list is looking weak as hell as of 11:42 am EST

Kid Cudi top 15 of the decade? Really?

Black Album and Supreme Clientele are LOCKS for top 10

i will continue to ponder this today

 

[MajinZuub]

I'm thinking this out, when I'm done with class today I'll come back and try to make a list. TDot and Starky got the best lists so far IMO.

 

[airant23]
