Special 25th Anniversary Lists!
All-Time Legends and Leaders
Welcome to my music lists.
What's the meaning of this? Every year
I buy albums and I pick one as the award winner. I also rank the
top
ten--but there is only one winner! Highly prestigious! :) This is my
website completely dedicated to the awards. The 'Neumie' name
was
suggested by a friend a few years ago, I think. The archive lists
include the award winner for that year, plus (in most cases)
the top
ten. Also shown are other CDs that didn't make the list. Why not? I may
not have liked them, or I liked them but they didn't make
the list.
Some CDs in the "Others" area may be CD versions of old, familiar
albums (eg Abbey Road).
So have fun and take a look
around--suggestions or submissions are always welcome!
JUST ANNOUNCED on January 27th, 2024!
