Every year around this time, my friends and I compile a list of our favorite ten albums of the year and share (and then play this intricate game where you compare your list against Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and cokemachineglow’s lists and the person whose list matches the aggregated lists “wins” and gets to gloat – yes, its like a super nerdy/audiophile version of fantasy football). Normally I compile this list and send around random emails to friends and fellow audiophiles, but this year I thought it might be nice to actually use my blog to share some meaningful (to me) thoughts that were not Adobe related. [Yes, I have those once in awhile].

Several of the albums below were therapeutic for me as I moseyed through work and life this past year. Its nice to think through the various highs and lows of the year and reminisce about the music involved…kind of like the soundtrack of my past year.
