can't help but resent the notion that my list has been listed a zillion times already, considering I deliberately picked five that are hardly discussed here if at all, and further picked five that flappy might like, I guess this is part of the social aspect everyone is on about
I have no idea how to search the rym top 5000(!) albums but I might be surprised to see some of the stuff on this thread, and certainly most of my five beyond Breakfast in America

brimstead: I'm no longer listening to and/or consuming music at the same rate that I once was. I've listened to a fraction of the music that I normally would have done this past week. I'm enjoying it more, too.

rym forum not _quite_ as useless as it would appear to be- linking to threads as well as to lists on release pages helps, even though most of the threads in question are old and locked, and i'm enjoying the upstart attempt to do a classical listening club- but there are a lot of woodpeckers and kids who really like doing drugs.

Alex, according to young Timothy here, I'm apparently "ripping off" your posting style. What he doesn't understand is that I don't actually know much about your history here, aside from that you love The Stranglers, which is always an opinion worthy of the highest respect.

Turrican, I like you man but youre being ridiculous and drawing arguements out of thin air. Im sure Tim F is not in the slightest bit bothered about yr opinion of The 1975.
Ok my last top 5

fwiw i see this thread as having a significantly different function to a rym user list or some spotify recommending bot. i'm not interested in their favourite records. but i'm definitely interested in the favourite records of particular ILM posters, some of whom i've been reading/following for a number of years!

jk that record especially has a v narrow appeal potentially, i just think every song on it is perfectly crafted post-disco r&b. funk, inelastic drums, gentle, airy ballads. it has everything

I did like the opening track on that Debarge album but then it was like 3 ballads in a row after that
― Neptune Bingo (Michael B), Thursday, 6 October 2016 09:47 (seven years ago) link
the ballads are key to Debarge. they are easier to appreciate if you already adore Smokey Robinson and Thom Bell though.

I came really close to picking The Suburbs' Credit in Heaven. Played that record to death in 1981, and hundreds of times in the years since.
