I'm in the camp of thinking it's a bit of a head-scratcher, but I think the idea sans pursuing random celebrities to give their opinion is at heart a good one. I think people who have made a mark on music who have shared lists with the world should have their lists compiled here, for sure. We learn more about their influences, which can help in the appreciation of their music (realizing Cobain so loved twee pop really helped me re-contextualize a lot of his work, for example). People who make big artistic contributions also tend to have more specialized knowledge in certain areas than the typical music nerd, who will have a broader reach, and people like John Peel being at one end of the distribution network and being sort of the gatekeeper of what will and won't be heard more widely lends to the value of his charts. If we take critics seriously enough to give publications their own lists on the site, we might as well give artists and industry people that same respect.

I was going to defend my suggestion but you have put it so brilliantly I don't need to

The difference between any of us and someone famous is that one is famous and one is not. Why should it be any more important what albums George Clooney or Miley Cyrus or Rand Paul like than what albums we think are the best?

If someone famous wants to tell us what they think are the best albums, they are more than welcome to sign up and make a chart just like we did. Just because they are famous doesn't mean that they deserve to have someone here make it for them. Having a "gee, you're famous...let's make a special shrine for you over here" area on BEA is really pretty ridiculous, and would be a severe waste of someone's time, space on the site, and taste.

In other words...no. And...why?

I thought it'd be cool to have a section of the website devoted to famous peoples favourite albums. Ones we admire mind you so no kardashians please. So a bit like rotten tomatoes has celebrities list their favourite movies.

You can find quite a few online already like john peels and Kurt cobains but it might be fun for bea users to find out by asking via twitter for example.

Don't decide who I admire.
