Okay, so what are 10 albums I must buy? Genre need not matter though I'll pass on country, jazz, and classical recommendations.
I use Zune, but Rhapsody is looking like more and more of an option. I just filled my 120 gig, and am having personal trouble sorting through bands I'm okay with deleting.
Save the money... go with rhapsody if you're willing to pay for music.
I like this...
MBDTF is a great album... for now. Lets see how the rap game goes over the next 6 months, see if we've seen a game changer... or just a really nice try.
I probably enjoy Graduation to listen to the most. Tracks like Good Life, Homecoming, The Glory are just good ear candy. However I don't think it's the best, there was nothing wow'worthy on that album, it was just a good rap album. 808, College Dropout, and MBDTF were legitimately fresh, like nothing going on in the rap community at the time. I think Late Registration holds just as much weight, because it showed Kanye's ability to endure the sophomore slump and push good tunes.
BUT...
Has anyone else noticed that Kanye has kind of made this transition through his career from 'comparatively' Tyler Perry to Quentin Tarantino.
Just saying

I just don't see how it's a 'game changer' unless you really don't listen to rap/hip hop that much.
iTunes downloads make up the vast majority of my new music purchases. A factor that you may not be considering in how we find time to listen is that some of us (myself included) have jobs that allow us to listen to our iPods for significant portions of the day.
Two albums that I don't think were mentioned thus far that I liked a lot this year (I refuse to look at the whole spin list because I'm not clicking through 41 screens) were "Fortress" by Miniature Tigers and "Stuck on Nothing" by Free Energy.
Its not. Dont worry about it.

Still not sure. This is what happens when we both try to be serious. Let's never do it again.

Just ordered some Chinese food...haven't had it in ages as my gf has the palate of a three year old. Got two dinner combos, nothing too interesting. Pork Lo Mein combo and Chicken with mixed veggies combo. Substituted white rice for pork fried rice in both.

I use Amazon MP3 as well. They are often cheaper than iTunes, and don't charge sales tax like iTunes does.
And any time I can save $1, I'm all over that like a drunk on the road.
