I'm not much of a "lists guy",
but I thought this could be nice to share and hear opinions on it.
It's taken from one of the few good "music magazines" (imo) released here in Berluscoland.

I'm not familiar with a lot of this stuff, but I think I'll get around listening to a good bunch of theese in the next few weeks.

So, it goes like this, it's not a proper "top 50", I'll scan the "disclaimer", perhaps porksarram could help translating this thing in proper english to let you guys understand the intentions...

Cool fucking list. I'll never get around listening to all those though.

[Derek]

Fortunately, I've heard most of them... so there's only a few more I need to check out.

Love the Richard Youngs inclusion.

[atsonicpark]
