Results should go up sometime today, I'm like 95% done. Thanks for the patience, dealing with a covid baby and a covid wife with mild symptoms is taking up most of my time right now. Maybe I'll finish up during nap time, but if not I'll have enough time after I put the plague baby to bed tonight.

Maybe today is a good day to finally get around to listening to that Little Sims album? 😳
I’m with you, I only heard 2 out of the top 10 (3 if I count the Low album that I started streaming but had to turn off because I was too bothered by it).
 
Here ya go, nerds. There was only one album I couldn't find, it was the All Them Witches one. Everything else should be there, let me know if I missed something! I went in backwards order because I like the theatrics of it.
