I'm glad to see you can count, but there is a difference btw a list of favorite albums, vs best albums, vs best sounding albums etc. The list doesn't specify, hence my question. There are all kinds of lists floating around. They aren't all the same.

the next number is 3 by the way.......

It's amazing to watch how tastes change depending on the year of release.

Normally Symphonic bands are the most popular, but when talking about bands in the present decade, rarely Symph bands are mentioned, despite there are some great releases.

Seems that it's hard for new bands to take the place of the early monsters.
