Both are good lists, but whenever artists do these lists they always come across as super try hard and fake. Like I know there's a lot of shit omitted here... the lists feels a bit too controlled. I'd have a bunch of random shit on mine

Why not? There are a lot of Frank fans here and it's not like there's a Frank OT.

There's an OT for his album... don't see how on earth the dude would warrant an "all things frank ocean" thread. Not up to me though.


Anyways I gotta hand it to him for a good music list.

I really feel like if someone would do this, they would pick their highest rated favorites. That way they look 'smarter'.

he has good taste in both aspects, unsurprisingly. we share a decent amount of songs and large amount of movies. the latter isn't too surprising since a lot are in most people's favorite films list. no scott pilgrim is a big X
