    No Beloved? Sigh. Saw some other good releases, though, like DFA1979.

    how many people actually participated in this? i’m curious… regardless, it’s a great list. i definitely agree with mwy at #1. very surprised to see “leave here a stranger” even on here, gotta be my favorite starflyer 59 album.

    David M makes a good point. Beloved should have made the list. Its a shame that Element 101 only got 7% of the vote… definitely a way unappreciated album.

    Good list over all
