I feel like my list is a little biased because many of the albums listed here I haven´t heard yet. I gotta catch up on my local stuff.

It's still a great record, but "Ballad Northwestern" from Big Cats! has a beat that puts the entire album to shame. I really liked “You”… for whatever that’s worth.

Queen of Everything is one of the best songs released locally last year. nice lists…

I'd vote for your band, but then it'd look suspicious. Also, no Haley Bonar on anyone's lists? I liked "Big Star" a lot. Hey thanks Jon. I’d vote for your band, but then it’d look suspicious.
