I don't do specific albums, really.

haha go go go! XD

Lol, I don't know any of your music, but I'm sure its all good, and even if I didn't like it, it don't matter its something you like and thats all that matters.

For the love of god, no one forced you to post in here. Obviously, if you post a list to be judged, you cannot get upset when someone judges your taste.


Hey, I didn't even insult Duran Duran! Saying that they should not be the best band on someone's list is not the same as saying they don't belong on a list at all.

This list is much better than what I usually get the impression that you listen to. I am questioning the Girls Aloud, am too lazy to look up a couple of them, and I f**king hate John Mayer. So I think this is one of those things where you're lucky that you're my friend, but I don't think that I can in good conscience allow you to assume the label of Musical Elitist just the same.

Most of us have to turn something on to find the artists we enjoy... even if that just means turning on your f**king brain. In either case, the fact that you can just "run into" these "groups" highlights the sort of effortless concession you've given to radio-rock. The reason these bands are so easy to come across is because of the fact that they're f**king everywhere (not just on the radio). And, if you happen to borrow one of your friend's radio-rock-records... augh, nevermind.

Okay you know your right, I will leave this forum. Goodbye gents.

*shrug*

Girls Aloud are fantastic, and anyone could have seen your hatred of John Mayer coming from miles away. Lol, I'm the absolute opposite of a music elitist anyway, and happy to say it.

In no particular order:

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Miles Davis - Miles Ahead
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
John Coltrane - Giant Steps
John Coltrane - Blue Train
Mos Def - Black On Both Sides
The Roots - Things Fall Apart
De La Soul - Stakes Is High
Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek - Reflection Eternal
Mos Def & Talib Kweli - Blackstar
Common - Resurrection
Common - Like Water For Chocolate
Common - Be
Common - Finding Forever
Ghostface Killah - The Pretty Toney Album
Thelonious Monk & John Coltrane - Live at Carnegie Hall
MF DOOM & Madlib (Madvillain) - Madvillainy
MF DOOM - Operation: DOOMSDAY
Ice Cube - Death Certificate
Ice Cube - Amerikkkaz Most Wanted

I've earned the title of "hip-hop snob" from my friends. Oh well.

Hip hop's about to be back on cB.

That's because John Mayer sucks immensely. And your lack of elitism is apparent, buuuuuuuuut look at the topic title.

PS I saw Hayden open for Feist and he was boring as hell.

Brandon, your jazz is kind of standard, and there's no a whole lot of variation in the hip-hop (4 Common albums, etc), but only a fool would deny that you have taste.

Oh shoot I didn't see some Nujabes up on that man.

Why, thank you.

And Juna, there isn't any Nujabes on that list because it was just a compilation of my favorite albums. Over the years, the above listed have been a standard. I can name off some others that are near and dear to my ear (I can't believe I just said that. What am I? My choir director from middle school? *smh).

Oh word, I gotcha.

lmao...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, colour me a rebel, I guess.

Ghostface Killah - The Pretty Toney Album

Does anyone else have knowledge on this LP?
