By johnb • Dec 27th, 2009 • Category: Top Releases of the YearSo, simply enough… it only took me three weeks of listening to all these great bands at work, home, and everywhere in between before I could piece them together at their final spots. I based their positions in the Top 10 based upon how solid their releases were… how original or even how well they delivered their music as a recording… and would I continue to pick this album up 5 years from now and take a listen.
