I completely agree Clint! I'm not a fan of people who claim such and such is the "best" album or song of the year. I've always created my own lists that contain my favorites - those songs and albums that mean something to ME! I've been doing it for decades!

And I LOVE the way you do it. You share the list without reservation or expectation. I've listened to several new artists thanks to you. Which is a rarity for me. New-to-me-music is hard for some reason. Any thoughts on why that might be? I watched the Grammy's last year and was shocked at how few I knew...and of the ones I did know how few I--still--liked. Live is hard. Even if it's pre-recorded. lol

Thanks! IтАЩm pretty unconnected to most of what gets nominated for Grammys. Every week I look for new music on Spotify and Apple Music. It definitely takes more work than it did when I was younger! But, itтАЩs more rewarding because IтАЩm finding what I want not whatтАЩs being fed to me!

Very important distinction thereтАжyouтАЩre finding what YOU like and want. The PR machines are having a fit with all this choice. Keep up the great work!
