At the end of 2005 I was working in an office and most people had
finished for Xmas. I was pretty bored to be honest. So I decided to put
together some kind of metacritic list of the albums of the year.
I chose five publications and/or websites that had listed 50 (or more)
of their best albums of the year. Selecting the top 50 I awarded 50
points for 1st, 49 for 2nd, and so on down to 1 point for 50th. I then
crunched the numbers and made a list of the top 30 scoring.
This silly piece of time wasting proved to be quite popular so I
continued and have done every year since. I used to send the e-mails
round a few mates who've either expressed an interest or I'm trying to
impress in some way. Since leaving my old job I've lost all the lists
from 2005-2015. If anyone has them saved please get in touch.
Now I have a blog I'm gonna use this to
disseminate the data. So, here we are, no photos, just a list of 2022's
