Hipbase - Top 50 Favourite Albums ***LIST POSTED INSIDE***

SoylentGreg Wrote:Every other post i've read from you lately has been sniping screw_ball. You don't have any other hobbies?

I guess it is boring waiting around for Bonner's mythic list. I still believe in you, buddy! (Until the weekend, that is, otherwise I put up the thread and it stays up)

Because every other post of his is giving Bonner a hard time for not having this list ready. Yeah... it sucks that Bonner's taking forever to make the list. I'm sure everyone (including me) can't wait to see the results. But stop giving the guy such a hard time!!! He's doing it on his own accord and in his spare time. If it's not good enough for you, do it yourself (like what you were going to do) but don't just sit here and bitch like a whiny douche.

So, I guess you could say I don't like screw_ball because he's an asshole.

I'm giving Bonner a hard time because he tried really hard to get us interested. He told us to just try it out after the huge wave of skepticism when the idea was first proposed. We sent in our lists and he said he'd get it done by... last month. At first, we joked around a bit about how long it's taking and how he copped out by saying that he has homework to do. We still wait, though. But then, for me at least, it gets kind of irritating to see him post in the Hip 64 forum and on the Waffles.fm forum frequently instead of just compiling the damn list already. Then, when someone is tired of waiting and hearing everyone bitch, finally deciding to ask people to resubmit their lists, Bonner gets all butthurt and asks him to step down, saying he'll post the list soon.

The list hasn't been posted yet.

I mean, I normally wouldn't think that I'm entitled to the list, but Bonner did promise on several occasions that he'd get it done, something which he has yet to prove but, still, it's a f.ucking top albums list and shouldn't really be that important to me. It's the principle and the fact that I find it funny to get mad at Bonner because it distracts me from how boring my real life is.

It's tough t'pick a side on this one. I remember not having fuck all to actually do at University (Where Bonner is, as I've heard. But I also remember not wanting t'do fuck all either. Anyway. Let's get our minds off bashing this guy. I guarentee he loves it.

Votes on whether #1 will be a Hip album, anyone?

Yes. Fully Completely.

Goddamnit Steve, when people don't deliver on important things they promised to random strangers on the internet, we, we......bitch about it, I guess.

I suppose me calling screw_ball a whiny bitch of a douche for complaining about something which requires no effort of him and only provides him entertainment is somewhat similar to screw_ball giving bonner a hard time for taking his sweet-ass time with that list. It really makes you realize what's important in life and where to place your priorities. Magical.......

You'd probably expect an appology right about now but.... here we are.

Don't you have some kids to take care of or something?

Nope. Twins due in September and the dog is very low-maintenance, so I'm free for the next four months or so.

Are you really at all surprised that Bonner isn't posting list? After everything you and everyone's said to him and the way he's been treated I can't believe he still posts at all on this forum. I don't blame him for having a little fun with you guys. The fact that he posts at all on this forum only shows that he has little to no self-respect.

As for you - I don't think you should commenting on me having nothing else to keep me busy. You're the only who's been obsessed with a list for the past month or two. You're just going to bitch about the results and tell everyone they have terrible taste in music because the Coconut Cream remix album isn't #1-#5.

As for me - I just can't mind my own business. I enjoy pissing off irritating people (irony intended)

I'm obviously irate and agitated. You can see that by how all of what I type is in capital letters and I use a lot of exclamation.

This thread (and all the fighting in it) is an embarrassment to the board..

Why it's considered an "important announcement" is beyond me.. :roll:

Did you even read what I wrote? Irate and agitated?

Is it fun being that stupid or does it get frustrating after a while?

Wow. Still not up? :what

Okay...seeing as I can't figure out the code I wanted to... I'm going to start posting the list RIGHT NOW.
Due to many ties in the voting process, there are TEN distinct categories:

50-35
34 - 27
26 - 20
19 - 15
14 - 11
9 - 5
4
3
2
1

I'm going to start from 50... and work my way up.
I will be posting as much as I can tonight... with the remainder to be posted tomorrow.

Quit yer bitchin.

After these posts, I will make on post of the entire list without the images.
Also, for the sake of simply being able to keep track of the albums, I will put descending numbers beside each album, however please note that as stated above that the albums are grouped due to ties in the voting process. Although the numbers are descending, for each group, they are placed in alphabetical order.

This list is out already? :thumb:

Nice to see some early love for Wintersleep. Perhaps more to come in the higher rankings?
