OK,
I have had no problems with prominent listmembers posting up their Top 10s
thus far (without any negative reference to cdr-s). If you want to send in
your tops with cd-rs and they are *official* by the artist and made available
to sale for the public, then by all means do so. I'm not interested in
wasting my time arguing about the logistics about what is real music or not.
I just want a representative compilation of some of the best *official*
releases of '99. Most of you have already posted your Tops in, and there
have been very few Cd-r releases in these.
Enough said.
