it never meant anything. Assigning a rating to something subjective like art or music is just stupid.
That's not to say that it wasn't kind of weird/ funny when Jethro Tull won over Metallica in '89.
You've just trashed the basis of 100% of my leisure time. Where's the nearest bridge?
I really hope that you would not let the half-assed opinion of some internet weenie ever affect how you spend your leisure time.
I'm curious though, do you think you enjoy the math/ statistics part of making top-whatever lists more than the actual music itself? I say this as a person who has spent countless hours driving around to junk shops/ thrift store looking for vinyl, and now that I have moved beyond that I can see that it was always about the HUNT, and the music was secondary. Shit, I bought albums that I never even listened to.
