I have about 75% of those albums and I generally think they are good but my list would be different, I think. I guess I will copy your idea and do a list of my own. I am glad you like the Alejandro Escovedo record. I have have been a fan since his Rank and File days, but I can't really say that, objectively, it is a top 20 of the year kind of album. Anyway, nice work and thanks for the idea. Btw, Happy New Year!
