Spectrum Culture lists
OK, so Bruno posting the ongoing '80s list made me go back and check to see if Spectrum Culture had other lists that could possibly qualify, as I saw none on the main site or the summary of lists to be added. In short: wow. The only list I'm unsure of in terms of eligibility is the hip-hop by year list, but I've seen similar lists be added in the past, so it's worth at least a mention.

Re: Spectrum Culture lists
All lists eligible, except the hip-hop by year and "I'm Not Ashamed: Albums We Still Love (But You Don't Cos You're So Cool)". The only time I make an exception and allow "best of" lists is for lists of "forgotten" music. The latter is not such a list.
The 2015 and 2016 eoy lists are already in the spreadsheets, but I think none of the others are on AM.

Sweet! Sorta figured the first two weren't, but they're good lists anyway (and I think more people still like Hot Fuss and Morning Glory than they give credit for).Henrik wrote:All lists eligible, except the hip-hop by year and "I'm Not Ashamed: Albums We Still Love (But You Don't Cos You're So Cool)".

Re: Spectrum Culture lists
That's weird.
I have no problem accessing the Spectrum Culture lists, but I'd really appreciate if someone else could do the transcribing work, so that I can focus on adding lists to my spreadsheets.
