Great and dedicated work my friend! Some of the lists are full of my favorites too, some others are full of albums I recognize but haven’t pick up for my listening moments, maybe never will.

So much new music coming out … where to find right time for all of that … ?

Brilliant descriptions of categories as well as the words explaining them !!!

Happy 2010 !

I have to congratulate you, when you first announce you would “categorize” it in this system I thought it would take a lot of trouble and the end result would still be questionable. But I can see now – it is kind of degrading and disrespectful to music to put into rating scale. Especially if the range is from warm slow soundscapes to drilling dirty bass shriek horror. And sometimes there is so much excellent albums to hear at once – all different genres, its even hard to track because each of them deserves attention and devotion.
You did an excellent job, and you also let the music unhurt.

Thanks for all the work! I have discovered numerous bands/artists from this sight. I am excited for the rest of the year end lists!

I’ve started working on that list and haven’t yet quite got to the 20 mark so it’s not yet too hard but it will be, and I am being quite ruthless too.

Yes. This endeavor has definitely kept me up for a few nights. I’m not sure if I’ll even attempt putting together the list for the decade. Can’t wait for your 20 essentials!

Blimey, you’ve been busy! Putting up 1 list of 20 titles is hard word enough, so 15 sounds like proper masochism. Still hats off for taking on the challenge. Some great lists so far, and I am looking forward to read the following ones. As ever with reading other people’s list, I’ve pointed out a few things I’ve missed out on (that Murcof soundtrack for starters) so I’ll be ordering some new music in Jan.

I know what you mean about classifying records and giving them a priority. My year list has changed throughout the year, as new records came out, others suddenly made sense, others again which lost their appeal after a while… I am not doing such a list for the decade, but I will be working on 20 essential records of the noughties, in no particular order, just because I can’t really think of ordering them.
