People may know me as either Rendle or Snoogans. I play the bass in a(n on and off) band, and am interested in learning about music as much as possible.

I love music, a lot. In fact, it's hard for me to rate any of these albums low, but I do have to keep up with the snobs on this site. Although, one thing I will say is that I'm not doing this to associate with the Scaruffi drones. I think Scaruffi is a hack and anyone who bases his ratings on his should be smacked (ex. "oh, hmmm, yes'm, my favorite album would be Trout Mask Replica, are you impressed enough yet?"). Not to dog on anyone who's favorite album is Trout Mask Replica. Great album. But if you model your whole listening system after him, it's just unadventurous.

^update 2014: Oh, that Rendle! What a prick! Like what you like peeps. Now that I'm at it, I might as well go back and rate Trout Mask a 5, maybe Mirror Man too.
