Booche Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 You know what really grinds my gears? All these Best Of Lists we see generated at this time of year on this stupid board. Guess what? There is almost a month and a half to go before the year is over morons. And besides that, how the fuck do some of you forget to put certain items on the list. Obviously it ain’t all that Best Of if you chose not to include said item in the first place. So what makes album of the year – gorgeous piece of work you rarely listen to or the light, fun record you listen to everyday? Or is it because you read it because someone fucking told you because its on someone else’s list? Ding ding ding. Bastards. And where do you get all this money to buy all these albums? Selling drugs? Either that or you steal them, which is where I am hedging my bet. You people degrade my society and that is what really grinds my gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Thanks Andre, that made my day.Also, you can't have an honest Best Of list unless you've listened to EVERY album from 2008 without bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakis Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 It's easy booche to buy lots of cds. Every week they give away a 100 dollar gift certificate to hmv on the edge. At work we put it to that station for 30 minutes once a week and call in. Me and my 2 coworkers win the gift certificate once or twice every month! It's that easy!

Jaimoe Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 TV and film lists are far easier to tabulate, even if Ollie has the new incarnation of 90210 as his #1 Best Of All Time TV list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 This is for that Grinded Gears Guy:Did you bother taking a look at the albums coming out before the end of the year? I did, and I can safely say that I won't personally be listening to any of them. [color:purple]Oh boy! The new Britney Spears! Akon has a new album! SOULJA BOY!!!Odds are fairly high that a Top 10 list in late November will be a Top 10 list for 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
