I remember when I first found BEA. I saw the overall chart and remember saying to myself, "What the fuck, an album from the 90's?" All I knew of Radiohead at the time was "that band in the episode of South Park."

I still haven't listened to enough music yet to consider myself an expert by any means, but I'd like to think I've made a lot of progress and will get there someday. BEA definitely helped with that.

BEA has been wonderful, and often it's influence extends beyond even finding great albums. I especially love the community here, there's a particular closeness here I don't find with other ratings-based websites, even if at times it, yes, can feel cliquey to new members. I think the best advice to become part of the clique is to just get involved, and don't take any criticisms of your musical taste as a personal affront, that's going to happen everywhere. Better to just try to be as eloquent in defending your favorites as possible, rather than just get indignant and get all personal if your favorites are attacked.

And yes, while Purple's sass may be misinterpreted as animosity and it's often tough to tell if his torch-speech is inteded to be facetious. However, he's just here to help, to get you out of your musical-listening shell as well as providing the element of surprise in the forums with his often dark sense of humor. However, for the sake of all that's decent DONT let him suggest any google search numbers.

I jest. I don't accept cheques.

You've furthered my interest in rap so I should thank you, but I can't give you money so if you agree we should meet for my wetwork favours.

I'll just say that this website has helped me a lot with music and I'll figure out why so few are getting on my overall chart later.

I only have 6 (possibly 7). Thought there'd be a lot more than that. 😕

I feel the exact same way Jason. �'� I registered in 2011 but never got around to posting albums until last month. I have an overwhelming amount of love and respect for many of you on the site. Growing up classically trained in guitar and singing exposed me to tons of music. As I grew (and my tastes expanded) I thought I'd never meet people who love music and the cataloging process as much as I do. This is truly a great group of music lovers! Ugh I'm getting emotional 🫢

I discovered BEA one evening late in 2010. Then I looked through the overall chart and saw In the Court of the Crimson King and thought it had a weird album cover. Then I bought it, listened to it and music was never the same again. Then all BEA'ers raved about Scaruffi, so I went to discover Trout Mask Replica. Then everything have been wrong ever since. I don't like listening to Tool, my favorite band, anymore. Instead I just listened to a two hour long Joanna Newsom album without doing nothing but laying on my bed and staring at the ceiling

This is the absolute truth. Especially with me.

Purp, remember when I was a Radiohead fanboy?

Oh boy, those were the days....

And I actually thought that Fallen by Evanescence was better than Electric Wizard, because it was in the top 500 O_O

Trust me, Jason, you have plenty of room to improve. You will not be left musically malnourished 😉

What about a guitar pick and a WHSmith's Receipt that went through the wash?

Hey, just wanted to join in thanking BEA for bringing some great bands to my attention that, for whatever reason, passed me by at the time. Great acts like Gogol Bordello, Archers Of Loaf, Porcupine tree and The Go-betweens who I never would have listened to were it not for joining this site. Cheers to all responsible.

Also, thanks for getting back into listening to albums properly again.

You might be right purple. And if you are, I will be the first to thank you. I'm still pretty young and have plenty of time to discover new music. For now I will continue to delve deeper into my favorite genres until I discover everything in them worth listening to. Doesn't mean I can't dabble with other albums as well. 🥰 purple
