Official Music Elitists Club, To be used in conjunction with Official Film Snobs Club Options

[AThorpedo]

Come one, come all! In the same vein as the Official Film Snobs Club, exclusionist attitudes come free with every top 20 favorite albums or artists list posted! If you feel like you should be entitled to tell people to never listen to music again, then apply. As someone that has been telling people to listen to better music for years now, I will let you know how qualified you aren't to push your taste in music onto others. I hated your favorite band before you knew they existed; I know what I'm doing.

If I like the cut of your jib, you can tell people what bands to listen to and why the music they listen to is just recycled, trite bullshit. We can also exchange soulseek usernames. <3

So, as I said, post your Top 20 favorite ALBUMS or ARTISTS. I'm not terribly interested in hearing about your favorite songs. Chances are those change all the time. Artists and albums offer something a bit more consistent.

We will be like a bowel irritation with a dope record collection. 1 2 3! 1 2 3!

edit/ huh, I didn't stop to actually read the thread. I don't really have any interest in applying to whatever club (I guess I didn't really read the title of the thread, either). The only thing I read was "list your top 20 fav artist/albums" and felt like looking through my ipod and trying to find my top 20 artist/album. I'm not interested in whoever's trying to judge my taste in music. I like what makes me happy and that's that.

this should be a top 50 list. :(
