>Though you raised a fair point last time we discussed it I'd like to make the argument that I think that the Top as gotten worse due ta media fragmentation. Impulses (sex) and music based on what will ring in your head the most based on careful research.
before I comment this with much more depth and replying beforehand to your point, I will wait for your detailed point of view.

ironically enough, I have found the covers of their albums on Topsters (even though Exiark doesn´t appear and the latest releases from Radiarc are not registered yet)

>Also, it seems I haven't heard of one song on your list, so there's that. I've heard of the Cure & the Rolling stones, but not heard those songs.
well, I could have included The Beatles (Revolver) and The Beach Boys (Pet Sounds) for displaying that I like quite a bit the most popular artists ever (and this week, I have been considering if I should add The Cardigans). All of these are albums (not songs) and while I admit that not all these albums are instantly recognizable from an outsider, in the music community, they are very popular (not top 40 for the radio but still, the number of fans for those band are quite overwhelming) and really praised (check Rateyourmusic and you will see how high their average scores are) so I cannot afford to show elitism for listening to extremely unknown underground music only (because I don´t)

By the way,only The Cure and The Stones? I mean, don´t get me wrong but I am a little bit surprised because I included Eric Clapton (Derek and The Dominos was a coded name for his band), Pink Floyd, Supertramp, David Bowie, Radiohead, ELO, Rush (and to an extent, New Order, The Smiths and Aphex Twin) . These ones are pretty hard to leave out (even in the internet age) but hey, everything fades over time, I guess.

However, I am noticing a pattern that you seem to feel more invested for single songs rather than entire albums. Though it totally makes sense, especially now that Spotify exists and people create their own playlists or simply get carelessly driven by custom playlists according to their mood at the time. Music has historically worked as a ritual more than anything else so perhaps, we are going back to the roots in that regard.
