Jazz is a great genre and tough one to get into if your new to it. Hopefully this list helps you pick which releases to avoid, even if it's by a famous artist with a ton of good albums. I personally don't agree on some of these entries but like I said before, these are non-essential albums if your new to the genre but give each one at least one listen. I know I'll try to in my lifetime.

Most entries listed are from the book Penguin Book of Jazz: 8th Edition. These are albums where they gave 2 stars or less. I will note these releases with "PBJ".

Yeah, I have friends and this is why I love them.

You love noise, no, not a baby screaming kind of noise. I'm talking about the blissful rumble, the distored loop, the disintegrating tape. If you love noise join the list. Post me your top 3 noise albums you like as well as a review of your #1 pick. Noise-rock, ambient, and experimental all count too. Enjoy.

Killers need to be sung about too. Must have 3+ kills to qaulify.
Also, check out They did it, they liked it, and they did it again - serial killers on the album covers! by necro666.

Please recommend anything if I missed it.

A list of my top song from each of my favourite jazz bands, groups or singers. This is list is one of the more harder ones I've had to do but I wanted to do it because it can be a reminder for what I would like to add to a compilation if someone where to ask me to make one for them.

This is a hard list to do but I wanted to do it so here it is. My favourite track from each of my favourite industrial bands. This list includes power noise, electro-industrial and EBM artists as well. Some of these picks were very hard so I based it off the track I find myself listening to the most, if I had a hard time picking just one. I will only include remixes if the artist did their a remix of their own track.

Vincent Price is my all time favorite actor and here is a list of movies I own by him with info and reviews. I will also be including the first and last line he says in each movie. Vincent Price was everything. He was an awesome cook, with published cook books, and he was a massive collector of paintings as well.

This is a list rating each episode of the TV Sci-fi series from Best -> Worst. Episodes with the same rating are kind of in order. Awesome show with great characters, Planets and stories.

Time Span: 1998 - 2002
Episodes: 90 (Including two 120 minute episodes in 2004)

This is a list rating each episode of the TV Sci-fi series from Best -> Worst. I absolutely love this show, and although there are some crappy episodes, it all makes up for the fact at how original each one was. Sexy, funny, freaky and unqiue is the best way I can describe it this show.

Episodes: 61
Timeline: 1996 - 2002

I love the old movies from the 50's - 80's and some of the crappy 90's movies are even worth a view or two. Here's my list of some of my favorite B-movies.

How many movies does it take to wipe out New York City?
Hollywood sure loves destroying this city and we all love watching it.

Skinny Puppy is my favorite industrial band and one that would influence many more to come over thier 20+ years. In my early days I use to even try and find the movies that Skinny Puppy had sampled. I ended up enjoying nearly all of them too. Now, just because a song is near the bottom or the top does not nessesarly mean I hate it 100% or love it 100%. It just means I may tend to listen to it more than others. This list will not include remixes or live versions. To note as well, this is just  a list of the tracks I own. I've heard many more but to be fair I will list just the ones I can listen to while making this list.

*123 SONGS*

My favorite industrial band, up until their reunion in 2004. I am judging my ratings on just the LP's without the B-sides, just to be fair.

Just a list of the books I've read and their ratings. Hopefully RYM will add this feature one day. Not a fancy list, just one to help me keep track of my books.

A list of RYM users favorites for MLB.

I love the odd and interesting facts about Baseball so here is a list of different facts I've found out about with the help of a couple books, some users on RYM and baseball-reference.com. Enjoy.

Thanks to Sluggo714 for suggesting a whole bunch of these too!

This is a list that shows my picks for Cy Young Award Winners before there ever was a Cy Young Award, which didn't come out until 1956 and was only given to one pitcher for the entire MLB until 1967.

Granted some pitchers did win the MVP Award, which came out in 1911, and other awards but this list is just for pitchers and the ones whom I thought would have won the Cy Young award from 1901 - 1955.
