6/10. Not bad. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 13, 09:41
I can't believe Licensed to Ill beat Paul's Boutique. -- nm - mafic Oct 13, 09:00 11
- I’ve listened to Ill waaaaaaaay more than Paul’s. - Volnelk Oct 13, 09:03 1
  - Counting when it came out, sure. But I haven't listened to Licensed to Ill in many many years. I listen to Paul's Boutique - Johnny Lawrence Oct 13, 09:04
- Paul only got one nomination so did not make the cut -- nm - ty97 Oct 13, 09:02 5
  - ...in the two hours that were provided for nominations. -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 09:04 4
    - I have been accepting 90s noms for 4 days and so far have increased the number of nomination responses by.... 1 person -- nm - ty97 Oct 13, 09:11 3

      - If only there was a happy medium! (But fine, noms submitted) -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 09:27
      - glad to be of service. -- nm - mafic Oct 13, 09:15
- Paul's Boutique didn't make the list because Krusty didn't pay attention and help me nominate them. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Oct 13, 09:01 2
  - It also didn’t make the list because I nominated License to Ill due to it being likely most people’s introduction to the Beastie Boys. - Qale Oct 13, 09:24
  - I stepped away from ST for a couple of hours and the nominations were closed. I never saw the post to vote before it was already closed -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 13, 09:06
~Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon~ -- nm - 🎃 Bud S. Pumpkins 🎃 Oct 13, 08:56 1
- Yesterday I learned that Boy George tortured someone and was convicted for it. -- nm - kilboooooo 👻 Oct 13, 09:12
My challenge to some of this is, how many of these albums have you listened to in the last, say, 5 years? - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 13, 08:56 20
- 16 -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 13, 09:42
- I listened to Purple Rain a couple weeks ago :) -- nm - kilboooooo 👻 Oct 13, 09:10

  - I listen almost exclusively to full albums. -- nm - Reagen Oct 13, 09:34

      - ty is just mad Kylie only has one good song and no good full albums to listen to. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 13, 09:41

- I agree with Qalecumber -- nm - 🐺Rolloooooooooooooooooooo🌕 Oct 13, 08:58

- or ever? -- nm - decline Oct 13, 08:57 1

None of my original nomination submissions made the top 10. Only one even made it to the final ballot. -- nm - Dano Oct 13, 08:51 1
- You could take this to mean you are original or unique. Or that you are weird. Who's to say. -- nm - ty97 Oct 13, 08:52
hmm -- nm - tRu🦇aN Oct 13, 08:50 1
