#14?!

I'm not sure you're setting that bar quite high enough, Mr. Grinchy Naysayer.

But seriously, I had to go to pokey-pup and pick up a couple that we missed out on this year - shocking in all the music we seem to have acquired in the past year.

And even more shocking was the number of GREAT records that didn't make any of the lists at all. Just goes to show how MUCH great stuff there is going on right now. Our kids are very lucky to live in this creative renaissance, or whatever it is!
