It’s that time of year again, when people like me tell the world who their favorites were for the year, whether it be books, movies, music, or whatever. I’ve been making lists like this for my musical favorites since I was a teenager, and I’m not stopping now. As a kid, I couldn’t share my lists with lots of people, and maybe lots of people were grateful for that. But now there’s the internet, so now I can share with anyone who might be interested. Even if that’s no one, the enjoyment is still there for me. So here goes.
