  1. Their list is too short. by SexyKellyOsbourne · · Score: 1, Troll

    This is all the data they used:

    http://www.rocketjump.org/top2003.txt

    For all the thousands of albums released this year, this list only includes not even a hundred, the vast majority of it pop or rap music, and a little bit of soporific alt-rock. They even call it a "A Not-Very-Scientific Analysis". Attempts at objective criticism are bad enough, but this is a joke. Whoever submitted it is probably trying to DoS this guy's personal webpage via slashdotting.

    It's a crime there was no mention of the releases from Vital Remains, Black Dahlia Murder, Wehrewolf, Destroyer 666, Iron Maiden, Blut Aus Nord, Aborym, or Iced Earth.

  2. Terrible. by Deflagro · · Score: 1, Troll

    There wasn't an artist on that list that i would pay a dollar to listen to. If the RIAA and the music industry expects to make money, they need to sign up bands that do something new.

    Instead we get these manufactured bands and their over-produced images. I miss my Wumpscut and Lycia.
    Who is listening to this stuff anyways? Outkast? I mean, come on!
