In retrospect this year produced some killer music and a few really great full length offerings. Lots of established artists and
virgins newbies put out valiant efforts, so like everyone and their grandmother I came up with a Top Ten List from the past 12 months. No live albums, box-sets or re-releases were harmed, or even considered for this list, Feel free to voice your opinions vigorously.
A lot of these albums I have already reviewed for
Glide or other sites, so when that is the case I will link to my full review and try to say something else about the album here, because over the course of the year feelings can/do change on things.
(One small note, I am noticing no Hip-Hop on this list, and while over the last few years I have been much more “rock” focused, I don’t ignore the genre, but I am certainly not an expert. Jay-Z’s new one didn’t impress and unfortunately I have not given Raekwon’s album a listen yet (my bad), and I am sure I am missing other releases…oh well, feel free to direct me to any winners)
Today we will hit on some just misses and a few disappointments, and get to the Top Ten in good time…all in good time me droogies.
