If I had had to guess your number one, I would have gone with "Dominos." You surprise me by putting it as low as it is. Great stuff and I, too, enjoyed reading your write-ups. As with TGAC, you've piqued my curiosity with a few of these and have given me some stuff to add to my listening list. Thank you, kind sir. :) What made you think I'd put "Dominos" at #1? I don't think I ever gave away my love for it on Pulse before? I think you'd made a comment or two about it on Pulse, and then I happened to notice it a few times on your last.fm, so somehow, in my head, you and the song got heavily tied.

Thanks to everyone who's commented so far, I don't have the time right now to respond to each and everyone of you! Um, will we ever get the Top 20? ??? Okay, sorry for the delay! See, I've prepared the write-ups for the top 10 as usual, but the external hard disk I use to store the file crashed, and I've been too preoccupied with salvaging my data that I forgot about the list! Since I'm too lazy/annoyed to re-create the write-ups, I'll just post the simplistic version of the chart for now.

I'm late but some fantastic choices here in your Top 20, Ardi. Loving the inclusion of Maxwell the most. (being the R&B junkie that I am) Great list, overall! Enjoyed it. :)

Your albums list makes me feel very inadequate. :'(
On the bright side, it means I have lots to discover! ;)

I cannot believe I completely missed this thread! So much brilliant stuff here, a lot I love, most I'll have the fun of exploring in the next few weeks (minus the Country ) Are you going to do a decade-end chart?

i'm loving the Miranda love. But no Regina Spektor Far? :'(
Good list though. Btw, have you personally bought and listened to all 75 of those albums? Thats's so many, I would never be able to keep up with that many albums lol! I only keep up to date with about 10-15 artists. And I used to consider myself as having a wide range of musical tastes LMAO. I feel so musically inadequate now, haha.
I admire your eclectic range of artists, though.

So much brilliant stuff here, a lot I love, most I'll have the fun of exploring in the next few weeks (minus the Country ) Are you going to do a decade-end chart? But you are going to check out #3. Riiight? ;) Nah, no decade list from me. My brain can't process it! *_* i'm loving the Miranda love. But no Regina Spektor Far? :'( Good list though.

Well, I didn't buy all the 75 albums. But I have bought 10-15 of those. However, most of these never got a release date over here. I'm quite glad, though, cause I'd be dead broke if they were. And, I haven't listened to the Regina Spektor album yet. Thanks all!
