Re: Borders staff all time Top 100 albums

I never knew there was a band called "Tago Mago" who had an album called "Can".

As to the choices . . . how much more "I was born between 1978 and 1982, haven't found a better job yet, and haven't realized that I need to stop living off of a lot of music I discovered in my first year of college" can you get.

"j/k"
