Re: Lists from Valnet-owned websites, and why there's an argument for them not to be eligible
Yep! I agree with what you said, and I actually posted the couple lists from ScreenRant and GameRant before I learned of what Valnet was and the controversies around them. There are several more "short lists" from Valnet properties that I have chosen not to post, although if I were to enfo...

I discovered there's an argument not to include lists from Screenrant/Gamerant and other Valnet properties. But I leave the decision to Henrik of course.

Lists from Valnet-owned websites, and why there's an argument for them not to be eligible
I don't know where I should post this so I'm posting it here: there is that company named Valnet which has been buying out a lot of cultural websites around the English-speaking Internet. These include ScreenRant, GameRant, Comic Book Resources (CBR), Collider, MovieWeb, TheGamer, etc. It doesn't lo...

Surprisingly enough, no Kraftwerk (although I don't believe their debut album is as acclaimed as the rest of their discography). It occasionally is, but it certainly isn't on par with the rest of their work. Great find otherwise! The nitpicks are as follow: lack of Amon Düül II and Scorpions is dis...
