Give me a few days to come up with my Top 20.

Tough choices will have to be made, and some excellent music will not survive the final cut.

Fortunately, my current mindset has been shaped by this week's tournament event (#3).

I shall swing the axe liberally and without compassion.

"Of course, there's always a pop industry, pop stars, and radio music. That still exists. There's Mudvayne, Nickelback—radio music for people who don't love music, but like music."
