Comment number 5 is supposed to appear about comment number 9. I don't know Chamillionaire at all, but according to All Music he is known as "The Mixtape Messiah."

I don’t know Chamillionaire at all, but according to All Music he is known as “The Mixtape Messiah.”

I can hardly even get through one without drifting off into thoughts like: "I wish J.J. Jackson were still alive. I sure would like to read his Best List," and "Should I have the veggie hot dog or the veggie sausage for lunch?" and "Why does the hair on our heads grow longer and longer, but the hair on our bodies only grow to a certain length?" This Best List, however, has inspired an ire in me the likes of which I haven't felt since our Lord and Saviour decided to take J.J. Jackson away from us and raise him up to perfection in that VJ seat in the sky. Anyway, my "comment" can be understood by reading the following heated email exchange I just had with my friend, Mr. Dinsmore. Me (Sonny): Number 7??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you oucher fuckin' mind? Nos. 1 through 12 should each be a Sparks album. Jeff: If you're bored today, you should take the time to comment and give the people the truth about Sparks. I put them low b/c that was as high as I could justify listing a nondescript bunch of albums that have been released since the 70s. I believe in the rules of best of lists, especially the ones I just made up myself. - end quoted heated email exchange "...especially the ones I just made up myself." If Jeff Dinsmore made all the rules, I, for one, would rather live in a rule-less society than in a society with rules made up by Jeff "Closet Sparks Fan" Dinsmore. I never reply to Best Lists.

“…especially the ones I just made up myself.”

If Jeff Dinsmore made all the rules, I, for one, would rather live in a rule-less society than in a society with rules made up by Jeff “Closet Sparks Fan” Dinsmore.

In a situation that I am sure could not have happened in college, I am only familiar with one album on your list: Boys And Girls In America. I'm not claiming to have freed myself from musical fashion, but I do think that my need to know what the coolest is has dried up. I'm still swayed by buzz, but now when I get interested in particular genres and bands, I think it is less attached to what's happening in the indie mainstream.

If I could think of an example in the reverse, I would put it here, as I'm sure there are at least a dozen. Salute accepted!

It took me like 2 months to even listen to this CD, and Matt was pestering me the whole time. I salute your pester! Oh, I forgot to mention: thank you, Matt, for turning me on to this band.
