Okay, that makes sense, but I still think the existing thread boxes it off nicely still and it supports an actual narrative as to why these albums are so important. Now don't get me wrong if there's anyone on here who loves a good list it is me (call me Listy McListy from the village of Listy Willow in the vale of Listyville on the island of Listopolis). However, I spent a lot of time yesterday viewing dead forums and blogs that just wrote lists! Far more interesting (and perhaps more importantly - active) blogs/forums actually pack some rationale behind their choices. I admit that I am hardly feeding the board with a mass of opinion and material in the "1001" thread but I feel it is still by far a thread with real potential if we just use it. If you have a selection of albums that have inspired you as an artist/musician then surely all the more reason to but them in the "1001" thread. Danger is of course when JBaker returns again and posts a System of a Down record in there!
Anyway, just my thoughts/musings and I am not trying to become the forums very own "Thread Policeman", just putting things out there.
