And so, the end of 2011 is just around the corner. Which can only mean that the slew of year-end lists which are always so plentiful and generally useless, including mine, are also just around the corner. But they are extremely fun to compile and argue about.
I will stick to the structure of last years list...which is 15 honorable mentions, not ranked critically, though listed from 1-15, and then the top 50 from 50 to 1, in order. I'd like to be able to post one album mini-review daily, including posting one song off the album for you to hear.
So, starting on November 21st, I'll begin posting the list. It's a while away, I know, but it gives me a good long time to finesse the list so that it's perfect, for me. And believe me, there have been so many albums to go through. Having this list done before the end of the year forces me to forgo listing albums that are released in the last month of the year, so I will go back after this list is complete and will point out albums that were released at the end of November and in December that I feel might have made the list had they been released sooner.
And my apologies in advance for any unintentional omissions. As is inherent in making a list of this type, some records are bound to be left off that probably shouldn't be, and by having had upwards of 250 albums to go through, my guess is that it will happen on this list.
Hope you enjoy reading and listening. We start on the 21st.
