Top 20 Albums … of 2007
I was listening to music today on the plane back from meeting my niece and started mentally compiling a list of my favorite albums of the year. In years past, I’d have set it up to post before the end of 2008, but I’m not as timely as I used to be (that’s a kind way of putting it). Still, it’s a fun exercise. Anyhow, I logged in when I got back to see what my list was last year and was a little astonished to find out that I never actually published it.
No promises on how soon I’ll post the 2008 version, but before I do so, I thought I should at least get this out of the way....
