What's crazy about this year is the sheer amount of fantastic albums that I rate extremely highly, yet I very rarely listen to any of them. But that isn't a negative reflection on their quality, it's just the way things go. I think the biggest testament to this year is the albums I had to leave off. Some great stuff (ATLiens, Attack in Japan, Relaxing With... etc) that would sit comfortably on this list. And what more can be said about Endtroducing.....? It's a legendary album for a reason. Some nice variety on show here
