Genre.. So I had to narrow the scope of this down, otherwise you'd end up with fucking hundreds of sub genre's, so I've diluted it down to a handful and apportioned them where I deemed relevant. There were also loads of artists I didn't know so had to go with what google/discogs/allmusic threw out, I think it's pretty fair.

amazing post. what geeky shit.

Fucking hell, impressive... but what a turbo-geek!

Cooooool

Ha! Old man Mahoney with a lousy 9 unique albums, what a predictable old shit bag 

Fucking great work there Kev, enjoyed reading that. Such a shame the sample size isn't larger 

speaking of sluts, why didn't Ana post a list. Enough drive to start a facebook group but not enough to come on here once a year to post a list. DIDZGRACE 

I'd even try to get her pregnant

Hahaa I demand a recount! I clearly posted SIXTY NINE albums but Kevin sold me short by only bothering with 40 of them.

Update the stats you Incompetent cunt!

Stop it, Karl.

Kev- i'm scratching my head here. Which one of my entries was German?

Great work by the way.

Also- if you need to get out of the house at all, even if just to talk to another human being, give me a shout.

Haha, I have Africaine 808 as German..

pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/21398-basar/

Sorry guys, i'll do it tomorrow. Forgot to e-mail my updated spreadsheet to myself from my work computer.

Well lap at my seeping sphincter! I had no idea they were German
