The whole point is that it's not a top ten list. It's a broad survey meant to acknowledge a large collection of exceptional releases without the meaningless cap and arbitrary rankings that make top ten lists uninteresting to me. I'm sure if you look around at this time of year, you'll be able to find a few top ten lists that should suffice. How about if you want to continue this dialogue, you e-mail me at ben[at]thebaybridged.com? Thanks for reading!

I'm not accusing you of *perhaps* illegitimately publicizing your-friends-bands, but I just find 32 to be a strange number to choose. Certainly a "top ten" would of sufficed along with a list of honorable mentions. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

Not until I become president, anyway. When that happens, you'd be well advised to adopt all of my views on everything.
