That is a lot of links... good thing you had time at work to get it all done

I have to agree with the Paper Route show, the rest are open for debate. You don't have enough solo acts in your list.

I could've easily included In Our Nature by Jose Gonzalez as a runner-up album. Would that make you happy Dug?

Doug Nibbelink said...

Yes. Jose is just all right with me.
