I loved seeing this breakdown. So many things, like the years/decades of each record, are very interesting lines of analysis. I also loved the fact you both went into detail about your process. Thanks again for this wonderful journey!

Enjoyed this quite a bit, and like that you're taking the time to go behind the scenes as well.

Thanks Glenn! We thought people would like to see a little of the method behind the madness.

Thanks to both of you for taking us on a journey - 2 journeys - every week. Thanks for the stories and the passion that you brought to it and the great writing. It was inspiring and fun to be reminded of great stuff that I hadn't listened to forever: Liz Phair- Exile in Guyville, Boz Scaggs- Silk Degrees, Rickie Lee Jones- Pirates, Dusty Springfield- Dusty in Memphis.

Thanks also for introductions to some insanely good music I had never stumbled upon before: Twin Cinema - The New Pornographers, Journey in Satchidananda - Alice Coltrane, Nina Simone Sings the Blues. It was great to see the analysis and the logic behind the approach laid out.

Whoah! This was pretty cool too! Loved both ists (not equally) but huge respect for outting it out there and the time and effort to write about each one. Tremendous! Now do a Christmas list because that shit is almost irretrievable and I struggle to convince the Missus there's more to life than Bauble!
