Spectrum Culture lists
Posted: Wed Mar 22, 2017 2:59 am
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.
