ack. I just realized I havent heard the Twilight Singers album! Ack! I need to listen to that before I post my list!
Yeah, I’ve got a good probably 50+ records to check out before Sunday so I can finish my list within my set parameters.
Your parameters are far more broad than mine, which were the top records I found myself going back to all year. Under other circumstances, I’d probably take a broader exploration for a truer top-10, but I figure my preferences and subjective taste outweigh the “good-ness” of records released in a given calendar year.
