Which is pretty quick for it's time. Late 2014.

I mean, it's top 100 for the year, but I feel like we didn't talk about this at all.

You my boy blue

I will say that Blue Sunshine, Pure Fiction and Run River North are not albums I think BEA tends to enjoy, they're kind of somewhat conventional pop/rock albums, but I loved them regardless.

Also, I'm in the process of listening to Old Man Gloom's "The Ape Of God" and I'm like 99% sure that's gonna end up on this list too.

Sounds like it was tailor-made for me 😁

And it's ranked 8th out of 11 Robert Plant albums. Only 8th.

Really? Have you heard it? It's pretty much in line with most stuff I listen to - at least to my ears.

By far, highest rating album of the decade by progarchives users. Progressive Rock didn't die in 1980.

Considered doing an ALC but I'll just drop it here instead. I really think quite a few of you would really dig this.

Lemme preface this by saying it's not a bad thing at all because he's got great taste, but a lot of your taste in music is similar to my dad's. The only exception is that he can't stand Pearl Jam. Which is weird.

Anywho, yeah, this was actually a pretty good album. Need to add it to my chart some time.

haha yes obviously he must have great taste. The vast majority of what I listen to now is from the last decade or so, so that's pretty surprising.

Nickel Creek is pretty much the only bluegrass/newgrass I listen to, but they're one of my favorite bands. Chris Thile is a virtuoso to say the least.

Also, I've long since moved on from my Pearl Jam phase. I'll always like them, but I haven't sat and listened to a Pearl Jam album in probably almost 2 years now. I've kicked myself for choosing this username for years now. 🧱

Anyways, another one:
