You make valid points, however, I remember when I was trying (struggling)
to get into idm about 3 years ago, I discovered the IDM top 10 of 1994
list, and proceeded to buy nearly everything on it, and I was disappointed
with none of them. I'm glad I did, because that introduced me to Ae,
Aphex, Black Dog, and a whole host of others.
Everyone's favorites lists are highly personal and subjective, etc, but for
those of us who don't know where to start, it's really helpful to get some
suggestions from the seasoned listeners out there.
