Wow, Stephen Wilson Jr at number one. Yep, fully expecting that dude to blow up next year. Son of Dad is such a good record even at 22 songs.

Except for fucking Wallen, don’t hate that list. I’m just gonna pretend that Lankum has that slot.

The running joke over the last 3 pages I’d guess?

The running joke over the last 3 pages I’d guess?

I never fail to be late to memes, exclusive to N&G or elsewhere. I'd prefer an explanation from @avecigrec though.

@Rip_City I wasn't sure if your angry react meant you didn't get the joke, or you were sick of the joke.

One of the first lists posted had Lankum at #1 and somebody said they were trying too hard... which has since taken on a life of its own.

I actually quite like @jt4527's list, and we've been having a good chat about it.
