Here's my "top 50" for the year...
http://www.head-fi.org/t/626954/the-diary-entries-of-a-little-girl-who-is-now-30-part-2/4230#post_9006421Along with a bunch of honorable mentions (like 50 more...).
I dunno, the numbering was actually kind of spur-of-the-moment. Wasn't like I spent days pouring over which was #35 and which was #34 for example. The exception is the top 20 which I feel pretty strongly about.
