The time has come for us to share our "best of" lists. It's been one hell of a year for some damn good music. So hard, that it's almost entirely impossible to make a cohesive list of the limited top picks.
I'm pretty sure you've seen some of the same albums if you read other music blogs. And the artists deserve the credit whole-heartedly for putting out amazing music. If you haven't heard of an album in the list[s], I highly suggest visiting some friends at your local record shop. If you don't have a local shop, hit up insound.com and support the cause.
We're not only basing our top 20 on how many times we've rotated an album, we're also basing it on how solid the entire album is from front to back - start to finish. If a record keeps our attention for more than 5 songs straight, chalk it up. [this list includes EP's]
