Re: Top 30 Albums
It took me about an hour to think about 10 albums I love, bold certain words, get the pictures, and type up a description. I'm so done with this thread

Re: Top 30 Albums
That's the same rule I always set myself. For me, it makes it a fun challenge to pick the best of the best, in my opinion, of the bands/artists I like.Jack_Armstrong wrote: ↑Thu Aug 16, 2018 4:11 pm Setting my own rule that I’m allowed only one entry per band/artist (some opinion change since my last post here)
