Judging by the popularity of the 'Rate the song...' thread, it would seem that GBAtemp generally enjoys music. There are a few other 'Music Essentials' threads but this one focuses specifically on albums, as I personally think they're more direct and specific than just saying 'go check out <i>x</i> band'.
The point difference between each category is going to start out very slight in this thread, because I'm not exactly sure how broad our taste in music is... and there is a <i>lot</i> of music out there... if this thread works then the point difference is likely to increase.
More categories will be added when necessary.

In this thread, post albums (<i>and</i> the band(s) that made the album for simplicity) that you consider to be essential and absolutely necessary for all to hear! All genres are welcome - music is about discovery.
<p align=" " class="none">The necessary format for posting music is as follows:
<b>Album Title - Band/Artist - Genre.</b>
Sticking to this format makes it far easier to categorise albums posted.
If recommendations are not made in this format, they may be ignored.</p>Albums can be voted up or voted down; if they are voted up, they earn a higher place on the list; if they are voted down, they earn a lower place on the list.
If there are more negative posts than positive for any given album then it will be erased entirely from the list - but it can always be voted back on.
There is no post limit, but please don't edit existing posts as these edits are likely to go by unnoticed.
Please <i>do not</i> vote more than once for an album.
Danke.
