Top 5 lists from around the world

One of the things I thought I had for myself was my love for lists. That is until I got into hardcore, record collecting and just digging deeper that what lies straight ahead. Now, it seems like everybody I share some of these passions with are into making lists - about anything really. I dropped finding out why lists are so fascinating for me and I just come to grips with the fact that most of the stuff I need, have or like just seems more interesting if it appears on a list.

...and thus shall the lists of many fellow rock music enthusiasts see the light of day!
I basically asked a bunch of people (some are from bands and some are friends) to share the fellowing top 5 lists (not in order though) with me:
  • Top 5 hardcore 7"s of all time
  • Top 5 hardcore LPs of all time
  • Top 5 hardcore LPs from the year 2000 and after
