And the Competition Begins!
I've decided that it would be good to decide which of the albums I own is the best. All genres are competing against each other, though conceivably I may give out sub-awards. Quality will be decided not only be aesthetic appeal, but also message, status of the performer, and perhaps even things like cover art. Bands will be limited to one submission apiece, though solo albums can earn a separate spot. Not all my albums will be listed; only those which, in my view, are worthy of consideration. Let it begin!
