I'm sure I've surprised a large majority of you with my diversity. Hell, you should see all of the different flags that I have hanging off of the front of my house. The neighbors all scratch their heads as their little foofy dogs crap on my immaculately manicured lawn. The fact is, you never know what you'll get here at Circle of Fits. Sometimes full circle, always a fit.

  2. Great list, obviously there's a ton of awesome albums on there. One mistake I made on my list is I forgot to put on Beck's Sea Change. It's definitely one of the better albums of the decade. I'm going to have to make a note of it when my list is finished.
