These are other peoples favorite albums of all time not yours. So why even try to argue. Everyone got their own opinions.

 

[mideastbeast]

I hope most of these lists are favorite and not greatest 5 albums because some of these are straight laughable.

Dude said Mobb Deep gets too much love ? Show me a more realistic feeling grimy gutter type album that captured life in NYC during the 90's better than theInfamous. It doesn't exist. Period.

 

[enlightened thought]

^of course every list is gonna be a top 5 favorite list. there's always some bias in forming them. with that said.
