The to-be-expected self-aggrandizing list about reaching an arbitrary number of comments on this site. Woohoo! But actually grateful for Sputnik for deepening my love of music and allowing me to still hone my writing skills. Started a pretty rigorous Master in Social Work program just a few months ago and this site has given me music as self-care like never before. List is favorite albums I never would have found without the site. | | 1 |  | Emma Ruth Rundle
Some Heavy Ocean
An artist I had never heard of with an album that's now broken into my top 20 of the decade. It's also introduced me to what is now one of my favorite styles of music. | | 2 |  | Lorde
Melodrama
Of course I knew and was familiar with Lorde, but I had mistakenly written her off as vapid pop music. The praise from this site made me reconsider and gave me my pop album of the decade. More than that, it taught me broaden my horizons by showing me to be way less snotty about popular music. | | 3 |  | Tigers on Trains
Grandfather
Admittedly, I found this album years ago when I would lurk here during high school. But it was music like this that actually encouraged me to join the site. Brilliant and thoughtful folk that, again, broadened my musical scope. | | 4 |  | Touche Amore
Stage Four
Something I never expected to happen was a love for "heavier" music (heavy is relative, but trust me when I say this was heavy for me). While I've still yet to break the glass wall into any sort of metal, post-hardcore has become a staple in a way I never anticipated. | | 5 |  | Courtney Swain
Between Blood and Ocean
I've tried to challenge myself to listen to at least one completely and utterly under-the-radar album per week and review it if inspiration strikes. That habit introduced me to not only what is potentially my AOTY, but maybe one of my album's of the decade. | | 6 |  | Jason Isbell
Southeastern
Even though I talk a big country game on here now, country was never a genre I even considered trying until maybe two years ago, again because I lurked this site and found Isbell. Country may now be my favorite genre, or at least the one I talk about/vouch for the most, | | 7 |  | Elder Brother
Stay Inside
The album that convinced me to join the site. Loved it so much that I had to login and write a review for it. Still love it and it's the album that launched my rediscovery of love for music, so nostalgia will be attached for quite some time. | | 8 |  | The Menzingers
After the Party
Along with using music as self-care, I also now use live shows as basically my ultimate form of catharsis. I've seen upwards of fifteen the past five months, with The Menzingers being the most recent. | |

11.04.19 | 1016 comments, to be exact. If you told me a year ago that I'd be feeling nostalgic about a website, I don't know how I would have reacted. But now after distracting myself using this site, it's back to writing a paper about the housing crisis in the Rural midwest. | theBoneyKing
11.04.19 | Hah, talk to me when you have 10k comments! ;-P
Glad to have you here, I'm kinda surprised you're only now hitting 1k, feels like you've been around here longer than (not quite) a year. Also I love what you say in 6 - I have to feel like I may have had some part in that since I'm prob the biggest Isbell stan on this site. Always happy to have another country guy around. | AsleepInTheBack
11.04.19 | Glad to hear you've found something of value in our dysfunctional family of wise idiots | JohnnyoftheWell
11.04.19 | Whaaat I could have sworn you had more than 1k?! Nice job anyway, lovely list :] | dmathias52
11.04.19 | @Boney It was your review for Drive-By Truckers that led me to Isbell which led me down this rabbit hole lol. Showed me what country music is really supposed to be!
@Asleep Just happy to be one of those idiots!
@Johnny I've gotten that reaction from a lot of users (Like from Boney) which is interesting, but I'll take it as a good thing! | sixdegrees
