Re: VIBE's Records That Defined An Era

I forgot portishead's dummy on the last section.

do you want the jazz and reggae lists, or would you not count vibe as a source for those genres?

Re: VIBE's Records That Defined An Era

Yes, I definitely want to include those albums as well. If they include jazz and reggae in the list, they by definition (to at least some extent) cover these genres.

Thanks!

Re: VIBE's Records That Defined An Era

Thanks jess!

Re: VIBE's Records That Defined An Era

It seems they have their favorite in each category at the top and the rest in chronological order, so should the top picks get a higher weight than the rest?

Re: VIBE's Records That Defined An Era

We’ll test it to see if it’s hold a charge, and we’ll clean the terminals if necessary.
