"His voice has a coarse edge and style that's probably an acquired taste, but to me, he writes and sings the kind of songs that Kristofferson or Cash did 30 years ago." - JasonT

"Piano-driven rock out of Baltimore. Slipped in there out of left field and been on heavy rotation. Just fun!" - Jeremy

Putting the album release dates on the enteries is brilliant. I always wonder if I put more weight on albums that were released later in the year and that are still fresh in my mind.
I agree. That was all NightraiN.
It will be interesting to see in what quarter most of the albums were released. Maybe I'll make a chart.
Favorite comment from this section:
"Go ahead, get after it with your serious face on."
Sandenuts cracks me up.
Yeah. I find the dates informative as well. Awmercy: I would be interested in seeing your über nerdy "release date impact" chart.
I feel like Local Natives (February 16, 2010) may have suffered from the early release. I am surprised to see them so low.
Yeah, they were even good live.
I wonder how different the results would be if at the end of every month, everyone submitted their favorite album at that moment and results were tallied at the end of the year.
Isn't that the point of the summer short list? If not, maybe it should be.....
Did Four Tet not make even the tail end of this list at all!?
Ve1cro... "Snacks?!" That's awesome, definitely didn't know that. Snacks was super cute/cuddly at the end of the "When I'm With You" video.
