Not really, I could post favourite albums from the 90s and then someone could post their favourite albums from the 00s. People can still comment on the lists and make lists of their own. Someone may do 1999 and then someone else might say that list is totally wrong, this is my list for 1999. It keeps it more specific to albums. I thought it'd be a nice idea and it's a challenge as well, to really think about your top 10 favourite albums for a year or decade. It just makes for a bit of fun listing, hardly durab is it? Just another thread with lists of albums for fun.

But why do we need another thread just for lists? When we already have one?
If you're so desperate to find out peoples favourite 1999 albums start a thread just for that.
But another thread just for varying lists is durab IMO.
 
Because I don't want to know people's favourite albums for 1999. I'm interested in people's favourite albums for any year/decade. Your thread would deviate from an album based discussion. It was just an idea I had and I thought it'd be a nice thread for people's opinions to get aired out. Maybe I should've done it just decades so but I didn't want to limit things. Plus it's nice knowing what your favourite albums for a whole decade/year is, it's a real challenge. Especially putting them in order.
 
Yeah that album is easily one of my favorites of all time.

That's not the idea of this thread. This thread is for favourite albums from any chosen year/decade/all time. This belongs in top 5 of anything musically, you just need to half the list.
 
...is basically what I'm thinking.

I think I'm gonna leave this open. For starters, I'm far too tired to ponder this too much. I agree Jim's thread very similar, but I also agree that this provides a focus on albums, so it's not really a bad idea for a thread.

If another mod feels different and decides to close this, then fine, but that's my 2 cents.
