I'm looking at the Ptchfork list for 00's albums and I don't even know some bands in their top 40. -- (edited) - Krusty Oct 19, 06:29 24
- There's literally one album that I nominated that I said, "yeah, I played the hell out of that album." - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 19, 06:49 6
  - Of the albums on my list right now, I'm still working on it, I listen to 5 of them on the regular to this day. - Krusty Oct 19, 06:54 5
    - I listen to Biffy Clyro every day, but no one else was going to put Puzzle or Only Revolutions. I did just realize my list could have been better. - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 19, 07:01 4
      - I gave a look-see to Fall Out Boy, but was like... nah. -- nm - Qale Oct 19, 07:09 1
        
        As a full album, I played the hell out of From Under the Cork Tree - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 19, 07:12

      - eek - how did I leave off MCR??? -- nm - Pippy's Brew Oct 19, 07:02

        No Kanye for me but I do have Jay Z. Hopefully we chose the same album. -- nm - Krusty Oct 19, 07:08
  - Don't worry I feel the same way. We're going to have so much mid-tier/mediocre rock regardless. -- nm - MDH Oct 19, 06:41 2
    - Ha! True -- nm - Krusty Oct 19, 06:55

  - I see the Jets just traded them one of our team captains and few quality players for a 6th round pick and some magic beans. - Krusty Oct 19, 05:15 4

      - I expect we're about to have a fire sale -- nm - Krusty Oct 19, 06:34 2
        
        Given how bad the team is though, it’s like the fire sale started last month and re-sellers have already picked over the value. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 06:37 1
        
        I get that we suck but there are still some good players on this team. There are guys that would do very well if they were put in a better position - Krusty Oct 19, 06:57
