As Kat always notes about lists of best ofs, the whole point is to inspire conversation. You read it to like what made the list that you like and to be angry with what you like that didn't make the list or what you don't like that did make the list.
How did we compile our 500? Dallas and the following:
The Third Estate Sunday Review's Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess and Ava,
Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Screeds and Attitude,
C.I. of The Common Ills and The Third Estate Sunday Review,
Kat of Kat's Korner (of The Common Ills),
Mike of Mikey Likes It!,
Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz),
Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix,
Ruth of Ruth's Report,
Wally of The Daily Jot,
Trina of Trina's Kitchen,
Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends,
Isaiah of The World Today Just Nuts,
and Ann of Ann's Mega Dub.
were each assigned five readers of this site. Ty picked the 100 readers who were assigned based on e-mails to this site regarding music -- past e-mails. He actually invited 130 but we only heard back in time for 100. Betty's "Music" noted, "From 6 pm Friday until 2 in the morning on Saturday, we worked on the list. We did another two hours Saturday evening. I'm now sick of the list and it's still not finished." Our first list ended up being 3,021 albums. After cutting that down to 1,500, we then went back to the phones (back to the phone in our individual groups). From there we got more votes and then whittled that down eventually to 500. So with 120 people selecting, this is the list we came up with.
