So What Didn't Make the List?

In light of my last post I thought I'd list the other albums I heard this year that didn't make my top 25. I want to tell you that this will shed some light on the process by which I came to my conclusions, but really I think I just like listing things. You can probably expect to see more lists in the future.

Anyway, that's that. Please feel free to comment and tell me if you feel I grossly under estimated an album or if their's an album I should have heard but didn't and didn't list.

Also I added pictures to the first post for those of you who, like me, can't read anything online longer than a paragraph without visual stimuli.
