these go to 1111 (aka my quest to getting ratings)

just hit 1000 ratings (more or less, sput keeps deleting some of my ratings every now and again for some reason, so i'm probably long over 1000 already). and what better way of celebrating that than by throwing a big boy compendium akin to JohnnyoftheContentSaturation endless lists. here's an ever-updating list of albums i am rating as the days go by to check that 1111 box.
