2009: A Good Year for Senmuth
2008: A Good Year for Metal
2007: A Good Year for the Dead

Alright, so it was a great year for duos, as that is what 4 of my top 5 artists essentially are. The year's personal musical discovery was the whole gothic country thing, with Those Poor Bastards leading the party easily. The album of the year, by all means - the genius Igorrr's Nostril.
