THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME

[RJhog (Admin)]

I was just wondering if everybody was formulating and working on their Top 10 albums of 2012 list?  I'm not asking for specifics, but generalities like whether or not you are even going to be able to come up with 10 albums. 

For me, I have exactly 10 albums that I would not be ashamed of listing as my Top 10 from the year.  I have a couple of surprises, and if nothing changes, one huge surprise.  But there are still a couple of major releases that very well may shake up my list.

What about you guys?

I'm good, I have more than enough.

Too bad as of today, I still can't judge the new Heart album. 12 days and counting...

Looks like you better get to work on an alternative NMC.

(Shouting)NMC - NMC - NMC.......

[Jon]

Don't worry, it'll happen. Eventually.

I'm keeping a running tally on the new albums I've bought this year.

[RJhog (Admin)]

Me too.  I'm at 43 so far.

[Scott]

43? Wow! I'm nowhere near that many but I do have a solid top ten

[TageRyche]

Hell, I haven't even hit 10 yet.

[RJhog (Admin)]

I must quit buying so many.  Maybe next year.  For the last couple of years, I've landed at about 50.  Looks like that's about where I'll be this year too.  There is at least 3 more that have a good chance to land in my top 10.

[Jon]

I have 31 so far. Of course, unlike Rjhog, mine are all quality!

[TageRyche]

It is impossible for me to buy so many CDs. I focus on the artists that I'm a longtime fan of and then if something comes along that piques my interest, I give it a shot if I have the cash.

I have 2 albums, I'm sure will be at no. 1 and no. 2.
Then there's 4 albums or so, that I'm sure will end up in Top-10 somewhere.
And then there are quite a few, I don't know how many, that might have a chance.
I'm still hoping, that the new Soundgarden will be awesome, but I do not expect it to knock off my no. 1 and 2.
