Looks like something you'd see on one of those VH1 countdowns.

I'm kind of sentimental and nostalgic about this chart of the day. I distinctly remember Jman really campaigning to get one of his charts eligible for cotd. And now he's finally achieved it after all this time and he's not around.

I also remember how excited and proud he was when he completed the original incarnation of this thing.

Yeah, it's okay, I guess. Remember people, the name of this site is "BEST ever albums" not favorite ever albums. Best. That's why Bat Out Of Hell isn't number 1.

Despite the high amount of uncoolness present in this chart, I actually really like it. Good job JMan. Seeing Exuma near the end was a nice surprise.

[karbutt]

Predictable.
