i think we should be able to open a new thread for favorite whatever, but having a sub-forum is not a bad idea. but not necessarily 1 for each genre, we can have a sub forum of favorites/recommendations/or whatever you wanna name it where we can open new threads asking for same old question of top albums...
i agree with basilisk, my favorite albums change with time, and i think it's same for most of ppl here (of course except ppl who think everything suck except the first 10 goa records they bought 10 years ago ). the best thing to do IMO is to improve the search engine
