it's a fuckin joke, a jab at Severian. if i made a list, would it really matter what album ranked at #3, and what ranked at #7? it's completely inane and subjective. why fuss over what constitutes a "real" album or not.. if it really hurts your brain, make a classification system for different types of releases.
i realize it's a personal, "album" top ten, but is set in stone? you've already revised the list x amount of times, and have expressed your perpetual uncertainty. how can you reach a point of total, absolute certainty? what about all of the music you've not yet heard, under-the-radar -type releases. it's impossible to create a definitive list, unless you're ignoring reality. is it against the rules to make a list for 2015 music in 2018? What puts Pusha T one slot ahead of Joanna Newsom?
all i'm saying is that it simply doesn't matter what you put in a list, what is defined as 'x' and what isn't. ultimately, anything can be defined as music, you can call it what you want. personal listening experiences aren't so easy to define and "rank" above/below one another. it just seems like a futile exercise, not something that should require so much deliberation and thought. again, i realize this is an albums thread, my apologies for the rant.
