This thread (which could have been in "Music" too) is where you go to when it's exactly 1, 2, 3, etc. years ago you joined BEA. The purpose of this thread is to thank BEA for having shown you good music for x number of years and for you to show your greatest musical discoveries since last year. It's also a place you come back to, to remind you of your change in music taste.

I suggest that you come up with your current top 10 albums of all time and your 5 greatest album discoveries since last year (when it's your user's birthday). Since it has been exactly 1 year since I first joined, I'll give you my current top 10 and 5 greatest album discoveries:

Current top 10:
1. Abbey Road - The Beatles
2. The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
3. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles

5. The Wall - Pink Floyd
6. Revolver - The Beatles
7. A Night at the Opera - Queen

Thanks to BEA for showing me so much good music, and may it show me even more from now on. Let's celebrate! 🥳 🕺 😵‍💫

I'll come back and comment in a year!

But it's true, in the little time I've been here I've found quite a bit of new music (and also changed my opinion in a few I'd already listened).

I suggest you also post here on the anniversary of your first forum post, especially if it was much later than your join date, like mine was (01 Feb 2012). Anyway, see you here in roughly 56 days!

Oh this is nice - a celebration of BEA! 🕺

I have been here since 10th March 2011 and have met some wonderful people and got some superdoodle album tips.. These are my top 5 favourites from the last year or so:

1. 'Nocturne' - Wild Nothing (courtesy of CellarDoor)
2. 'Tomboy' - Panda Bear (courtesy of NoWaxJim)
3. 'Los Angeles' - Flying Lotus (courtesy of Purple)
4. 'Lesser Matters' - Radio Dept (courtesy of Necharsian)
5. 'All Hail West Texas' - The Mountain Goats (courtesy of Hayden)

I am not going to bother posting my top ten as you can check out my chart if you are that interested.

So thank you BEA for all the fun music and the inspiration - you have been awesome 😁

my first posts were lists for films, musical ladies, etc, but here's some gold (fourth post, August 2009): "All religion can suck my cock; in no way does it help anyone. You need a big brother? look for real support from real people. You need moral guidance? all that shit is just self-preservation (unless you're powerful and/or psychotic, you're not going to kill someone b/c it has perhaps fatal consequences for you. Throw some other stuff at me and I'll throw it down, we're animals not something's creations. by the way, I'm atheist."

I've been drunk-posting since day 1...

anyways, most of the great recs I've received from BEA come from theharrisonfords (Talk Talk, Exuma, Women) and Cellar Door (Microphones, Dirty Three, random obscure shit I enjoy but will never listen to again). Fortunately, one of these members is still active.

Darn. Missed mine by about a month.
Doesn't feel like it's been two years. Mind you, I only lurked the forums until recently.
