1. I will forget certain records and later be very upset over this.
2. Some may find this list terrible, and at some point in time, I will probably agree.
3. Now at the age of 35, my taste certainly follows a certain pattern. Then again, it was the same when I was 21.
4. Aside from the top 10-15, the whole damn thing is pretty much interchangeable.
5. This is the best list you will find anywhere.

You've convinced me that I must own "The Friends of Rachel Worth" by the Go-Betweens. I love "Ocean's Apart" and their early stuff, thanks to Postcard pimping.
Quibbles:
I'd put "Magic" much higher than "The Rising." And where is "I Break Chairs", Jurado's tour de force of the decade?
oh, yeah - great list! It was good reading.
Friends of Rachel Worth probably should've cracked the Top 50. I mean, was I kidding by including that Panda Bear record?
