This shows that the emu staff not only shares the subschribers passion for music, but also is genuinely interested in what is moving amongst us subschribers. This is rare and deserves a lot of credit.

I want to use this oportunity to point out why some of my lists came to be:

the Chris Cutler, Robert wyatt, Tom Cora and Tuxmo (Tuxedomoon) lists were all compiled because the artist pages of these four is far from complete.
As an example: The Chris Cutler artist page consists of 4 releases 1 by another CC.
My list consists of 43 releases.

Sorry to repost but I put this in the halloween one but it probably makes more sense here:

Dubstep fans unite! It can be easy to miss albums as they come in, maybe there should be either a regular feature or a rolling thread or something. Lists are awesome (yes there are some great ones here thanks), but unfortunately we can’t leave comments.

Awesome post. Please make this a regular feature. So much of what I download comes from user lists and I love catching new ones.

Clever Hipster Torture Kit just doesn’t want to be discovered. It appears briefly on screen but then switches to emusic is temporarily unavailable. Oh well.

I haven’t made any lists yet but will probably make some yearlies. I haven’t checked them out either but that’s because I really don’t trust the opinions of others unless I know they’re on the same level as me, and that’s hard to come by.

Going through the Grimy Hip-Hop list brought to mind cLOUDDEAD and I was wondering if eMusic would ever expand their Mush Records collection? They have some great stuff beyond the current availability that I would love to see on eMusic.

I’ve found a lot of fun stuff on user lists. Actually it was through an emusic list that I first heard about Interpol (http://www.emusic.com/profile/index.html?nickname=chr1sb0y#/profile/ajax/lists/showlist.html?nickname=chr1sb0y&lid=1181&p=) a while back. I’ve also discovered Beirut through a free tracks list and Azeda Booth from some random list that is now forgotten. I like lists.
