As usual, there was a FUCKLOAD of music released this year. Steven Jeffries and myself both went above and beyond and listened to so many albums that it was insane even putting together a Top FIFTY, but somehow we narrowed it down to a 25 list. We shared some of the same favorites, but of course every list has its own flair! Ryan and Mitch settled for a shorter, precise list. Jaeden/J-Nope is showcasing the K-Pop love. The latest KoRn and Killswitch seem to be most dominant.
