Thanks Burt

If you guys are mean to Mike and he runs away, I'm gonna punch you in the vaginas.

Boys and Girls in America, Binaural, Lost in the Dream and some others.

The small amount of seventies music I know is embarrassing. Someone do their favorite seventies albums.

I'm starting your list for your LV:
2004: Kanye West - The College Dropout
2005: Kanye West - Late Registration
2007: Kanye West - Graduation
2008: Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak
2010: Kanye West - MBDTF
2013: Kanye West - Yeezus
2015: (Prediction) Kanye West - Swish

We have a lot of the same picks, Mike. I will do a list later.

You're definitely right about 2013. Probably also 2010 and 2007. I'll make a list later.

If you're going with MBDTF for 2010 I want to know what your other contenders were for that year. I guessed MBDTF was a given for that year.

I actually have this in a notebook somewhere at home. I will look for it. Fun thread.

Are we counting Animal and Cannibal as separate albums?

I'll try to do some of this over the next few days. May have to try one decade at a time at first... but is there a reason we're starting with 1964? Can we go back further than that?

Of course you can go further back. I just stopped there because I don't have any favorite albums from before 1964. That's just due to not knowing any well enough.

I wanna switch it up n all, but my 70s are gonna alternate floyd n zeppelin
