here is a list of my top (i.e. favourite) 170 albums, as documented this year. just like my songs list, it was created for a messageboard. i have disabled comments for the time being because frankly i got a little sick of the all criticism i received as a result of posting it. i'm sorry if you don't like my list… but what can i say? it's an honest documentation of albums i like, rather than some kind of indie hipster posturing. i have my own personal reasons for listing things in the order they appear, which some people may not understand or agree with, but i'm not asking anyone to do that.
