An alphabetical listing of my top 25...

i am going alphabetical because for the life of me I can not rank my favorites from this year... I tried last week.

I have to say that I listened to Stephen Malkmus the most... I had a unnatural obsession with this album for quite some time this spring/summer, and the song Real Emotional Trash is 10 min long, starts off slow but twists its way into one of the best songs I have heard in a long time.

So here is my list.. and I can already tell I left some out...=)
