I am an artist at creating a great Top 25 list. All positions on that list is important, but certain slots are earmarked for certain purposes. The top is of course reserved for the absolute best, most interesting, inovative, album released in the past year. That is, unless you are a fuckin’ coward and you use your top spot on a safe, unobjectionable one, like “Revolver” or “Dark side of the moon” or something “safe” like that.
When we do a collective list, like we’ve done here at Johanna’s Visions it is a matter of compromise and hard bargaining, you lose some and you win some positions.
