Top 20 of '09 so far...so good?

Posted at 6:35 PM on July 8, 2009 by Mark Wheat (1 Comments)

Thanks for all the votes on our unofficial poll of the year in music so far. but not many of you commented on if it's been a good one so far? What do you think?
I was undecided before doing this poll but looking at the results I would argue...yeah!

Always good to see support for the locals and we seem to have adopted the #2 as a local band! Some great albums from established artists at the foot of the 20 and a few nice surprises ( #16 ) put together, making a fine cross section of musical styles.
The Musicheads are getting in on the fun, talking about their fave songs of the year...
