the fact that I listened to Kpop more than any other genre this year, but I was usually listening to my 160 song (and counting) mix.
Don't you know that Kpop causes cancer and gets you profiled by the NSA

If you make a list of 50 albums, it becomes more of an exhaustive list of everything you liked, rather than a list of favorites. Am I wrong?
There are no rules in this thread.  I LIKED way more than 50 releases in 2015.  About 200 actually.

So yes, you are wrong. 

Do you see SPIN just list 10 albums on their year end list?  Consequence of Sound?  Pitchfork?  No.

And before you say, "those are organizations, you are but a man"; I run a music blog, so why would I not have a comprehensive list of my favorite music of the year?

If you do not want to read my 10 Favorite hip-hop list or my 20 favorite everything else list, then skip my next post...

I agree with you, actually. The difference, however, is I will just jump to ~#10 on Killsaly's list instead of complaining he had the audacity to list > 10.

Of course there are no rules, you can dominate this thread just like you dominate every other music related thread. I would think that people visiting your blog are visiting because of you specifically and might be more keen on reading your exhaustive list. Whereas here it seems it's more of a democracy where people indulge strangers and aquaintences by politely reading their lists.

So I am politely breaking them up into small lists.

Save your list of 50 for your email to your pretend significant other.
And what was that supposed to mean?

Thanks?

I have to agree that a Top Ten is best for these kinds of threads. Because for 99.9% percent of the population, there's probably not a lot of thought between what placed at #22 and what landed at #28. Too many of the loooong lists tend to morph into "Here are all the albums I listened to this year."

Ten is good because it requires some discipline, some hard choices, some gnashing of teeth. Nothing wrong with a honorable mentions list either.

hey . . . freely, he is being polite about the spacing of it.  its pretty much a given that kill,sally likes a lot of music.  I would post another list, due that my first list was just from looking at mainstream releases of 2015.  im sure I can be hipster enough to like some more things.

That was a joke. As in "someone who devotes a lot of time listening to music is probably less likely to have a significant other who demands their time and attention". Just a joke, not an insult, as there's absolutely nothing wrong with not having a significant other. And a joke because it's not a statement of fact, but rather words that play off stereotypes, as jokes sometimes do.

Didn't think the joke was funny? I am absolutely crushed. At least my wife and daughter think I'm funny. Oh, and by the way, I'll be back with my wife and daughter's top 10 lists on Monday. Hint: Taylor Swift might be there.

You know what's sad... I don't think I have a top ten list this year.

Le sigh.
