Just wanted to give you guys some more top five lists for the first quarter of the year. The reason I'm posting this individually is because there are some records that are definitely not as well known as they should be, and all post-rock lovers should check out Mat's list. That whole list is full of excellent post rock albums, including a bunch that most people don't know. Any record that we've heard this year is eligible, not just ones that have been released. You can go
