(This year I found it really hard to include every band I have listened to. There were so many good albums that I had a hard time picking just 20, so I decided to bump it up to 25. Even with the 5 more I still missed a lot of Albums. Also this year I added Christian Music. It took me a while to find something that actually stood up to the type of music creatively that I listen too, but I found some that surprised me a whole lot. Again as I have done the past two years I like to ask your opinion, and if you have some band that I might have missed just let me know, They won't affect my list, but I will take a listen. Thanks and I hope everyone has a great New Year's.)
