Like usual, no rules. Here's the guidelines I used for my list:
Had to include at least some music previously unreleased on USA cd. Official release.
Sources I used were my memory
, Wiki (Unfortunately they don't seem to do reissues & and very little previously unreleased vault) & our Ice Library courtesy of Linda.
My Best Of The Year:
2 albums really stood out for me this year. The rest are in alphabetical order.
1. Dan Fogelberg - Live At Carnegie Hall
2. Neil Young - Hitchhiker
Alphabetical Others
Paula Cole - Ballads
Catie Curtis - While We're Here
David Bowie - Cracked Actor (I prefer David Live, but still nice to have this)
David Crosby - Sky Trails
Deep Purple - All of the Infinite related singles (Would fit on a 2 cd set)
Grateful Dead - The 1977 Box
Jethro Tull - Songs From The Woods DE Box Set
Stills - Collins - Everybody Knows
Richard Thompson - Acoustic Classics #2
Neil Young - Time Fades Away Hi-res Download
Frank Zappa - Halloween Box
Haven't played enough yet, but might be added to my list when I do:
King Crimson - Sailors' Tales
Spock's Beard - Snow Live
Haven't bought yet, but (potentially) what a great reissue:
BGO's Eric Anderson Be True To You/Sweet Surprise - Both never previously released on USA or affordable cd (I have the h-r of Be True & a needle drop of Surprise)
My Disappointments Of The Year:
Disappointing Musically:
Bruce Cockburn - Bone On Bone
Ani Difranco - Binary
Sheila E - Iconic
Steven Wilson - To The Bone
Yardbirds - '68 - What a joke with no vocals.
Music & Sound Quality:
The Tubes - Live At German Television: The Muskladen Concert
Sound Quality (all hi-res):
David Bowie - New Career In A New Town Box
Doors - #1 DE
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood Box
Prince - Purple Rain DE
Spirit - Both AF SACD's (Sadly I'll probably buy the other 2...)
