Hello Everyone, and Happy New Year!
This week's playlist is forthcoming for some of you.
2001 has been a rich music year for those in the know. I haven't even
counted the sheer number of albums and singles that I've listened to in
that time span. There's no argument from here that every year seems to
get tougher in terms of narrowing the music field to a very short
roster.
Please keep in mind that the albums in question are those from the many,
many albums that we've received in 2001. There may have even been gems
that I are not listed, either because they fell a bit short of the top
30 or that I simply haven't the time to listen to the entire album.
Also, I haven't counted some of the imported albums for 2001 because
I've received information that our station will receive domestic
releases this year.
The albums picked are not in any particular order.
With that, on we go!
