Disappointing really. But another view.

That is total crap. The Rubens album was an incredibly boring, unoriginal, plain, dry album and san cisco and mumford and sons are total crap.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but Rolling Stone has posted their best albums. Surprise, surprise, it's given a little too much credence to 'classic' acts and failed to embrace some of the more cutting edge work. Bruce Springsteen is #1.

I think I'm still missing something with Lonerism 🤔 I still just consider it a good album. Nothing great. And I like Innerspeaker a lot... Maybe a few more listens.

And Passion Of The Weiss's list is certainly interesting 😄 Even with the hip-hop incline.

But either way, fairly predictable list, but it still usually is my favourite 🤣

Can anyone give me some feedback about who 'Future' is? 🤔 It looks like Lil Wayne #2 sort of stuff.

Kendrick was the hipper choice, Frank Ocean would be so cliché at this point.

But it's just someone talking over a beat that anybody could make. Where's the talent in that?
