We took all of the staff lists - assigned point values - and then compiled a list that represents the entire staff. We think the final outcome is quite diverse and represents the AP.net staff well. We don't wanna hear any "blah blah" shoulda been included. Instead - feel free to let us see your lists. Thank you for spending the year with us - we hope you've enjoyed everything we've done this year and hope next year brings you even more music.

There is a thread in the general forum where lots of members are sharing lists.
Who the hell is Lydia? I seriously have heard absolutely nothing about this band. I guess I'll have to check them out.
I'll agree on Gaslight...and...umm....House of Heroes. Sigh.
For what it's worth, here's mine with reasonings/songs in my blog:
10. The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound
9. The Loved Ones - Build & Burn
8. Able Baker Fox - Voices
7. Useless ID - The Lost Broken Bones
6. Iron Chic - Demo 2008
5. The Plastic Constellations - We Appreciate You
4. Have Heart - Songs to Scream at the Sun
3. LaGrecia - On Parallels
2. The Riot Before - Fists Buried In Pockets
1. Polar Bear Club - Sometimes Things Just Disappear
just a quick note that it is VERY difficult to score high enough to get into the top 15 of this list. So don't pass over these albums, because it indicates a pretty much staff-wide liking for lots of these. And we know what we're talking about; our names are RED!
5) Counting Crows- Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings
4) Ace Enders and a Million Different People- The Secret War EP
3) Good Old War- Only Way To Be Alone
2) Punchline- Just Say Yes
1) Forgive Durden- Razia's Shadow
