Americans love lists! I love lists! Here is my List!
Who knows what may emerge in the next two weeks, but I feel like I can confidently create a Top 10 Album of the Year list with an addendum of some other favorites of the year. I conclude with some of my least favorite things. I in no way claim any objectivity with creating this list. Feel free to send your list back.
