So it’s the end of the year, and that usually means making some lists. So many great releases came out that putting this together was incredibly hard. I probably left things out, I probably didn’t spend enough time with some albums, and I could probably stare at these lists all night and change the order another 20 times. I think I’m pretty content with the order and chose not to go over a certain number or I’d drive myself crazy. I do enjoy putting these lists together though, as it shows how much my tastes change in a year and how varied the genres I listen to are. I’m not sure if anyone really cares about my opinion, but I figured I’d share it anyway. I do this blog for fun, and I know I’m not always the best at updating it, but music is something I enjoy and this is a place I can share news about bands I care for. Maybe next year I’ll do more with the site and actually get some reviews/interviews going, who knows what will happen. For now, thanks for reading and always feel free to reach out to me on here or at getstokedonmusic@yahoo.com .
