I feel you about the "sterile 'top 10'" part but that's your words. I was mearly suggesting a better formated place for the conception of "best" or "most popular". (We can even add a field for 'why i like this'). I don't have time to investigate every piece of music that comes under the "idm" moniker these days (most of which is shit) and I'm more willing to purchase (read : take a risk on purchase) on something that a few others think is a "good" album. Besides i'm lazy and I like to look in as few places as possible. i can create mail filters but it still takes me loads of time to sift through it all... Though, thinking about it one could point and say the list is already the best forum I suppose. And in the long run I'm gonna try and spoof any voting system with false positives anyway ;-) --pink
