style of pussy ass bullshit posts that make ilx terrible

my favourite chaki memory is that time he posted that rant about tombot on a bunch of threads. few people are so committed to ilx that they would put in that much effort, and the community can only be poorer for his absence.

The other problem here is that top-ten lists are, by definition, limited. For all we know, every one of the critics smeared by Mr. ILX listed ten straight hip-hop albums immediately after the P&J form's cutoff. And why should hip-hopness - or blackness, to get to the real issue here - be the factor pointed at in noticing outliers in poll selections? My own 2003 list, for example, has only one entry that's folk-influenced, only one entry that displays rockabilly influence, only one album that suggests a familiarity with the Grateful Dead: in short, I could probably find something about every album on my list that makes it unique. But if I'd had one hip-hop album, suddenly I'm guilty of "tokenism"? (And is it better or worse that I have no hip-hop albums listed?)
