As we wait for Chart Magazine's Year End Reader's poll to be released (uh, am I the only voting?), and further to the recent debate regarding reviews*, I thought I'd start off a (hopefully) neat thread. Since I've pretty much bought all the CDs I've wanted to buy this year, here's my Top Ten Lists FOR THE MILLENIUM !! (No reviews, and not listed in order) TOP TEN SONGS OF 1999: (in my opinion, it was a thin year for singles, but these stood out) 1. "Before You" performed by Chantal Kreviazuk 2. "You Get What You Give" performed by New Radicals 3. "Nonsense" performed by Tricia Concepcion 4. "Radio" performed by The Corrs - MY personal fave… 5. "Disco Lights" performed by Emm Gryner 6. "Canned Heat" performed by Jamiroquai 7. "Hello Time Bomb" performed by Matthew Good Band 8. "Steal My Sunshine" performed by Len 9. "Mistake" performed by Serial Joe 10. "Stick To Your Vision" performed by Maestro TOP TEN CDS OF 1999: (the CDs were better, and I actually bought more in 1999 than in years prior) 1. Tribe Called Quest, "Anthology" 2. Electronic, "Twisted Tenderness" 3. Chantal Kreviazuk, "Color Moving and Still" 4. Tricia Concepcion, "Anything is Everything" - perhaps the best… not one weak track… 5. The Corrs, "Unplugged" 6. Emm Gryner, "Science Fair" 7. Sarah McLachlan, "Mirrorball" - she can put out a CD of sneezes, it'll make my list… 8. Jamiroquai, "Synkronized" 9. Beastie Boys, "Anthology Sounds of Science" 10. TLC, "Fanmail" TOP TEN CDS OF THE DECADE: (my pick of the 10 CDs that defined my 90s) 1. Emm Gryner, "Public" 2. Milla, "The Divine Comedy" - I may be the only person that owns this… 3. The Corrs, "Talk on Corners" 4. New Order, "Republic" - only cos "Regret" is the best song in history… 5. Radiohead, "Pablo Honey" 6. Nirvana, "Nevermind" 7. Smashing Pumpkins, "Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness" 8. The Verve, "Urban Hymns" 9. Oasis, "Definitely Maybe" - love'em or hate'em, you have a favorite song… 10. Barenaked Ladies, "Gordon" TOP TEN CDS OF THE MILLENIUM: (desert island CDs - you know the drill) 1. New Order, "Substance 1987" 2. Radiohead, "The Bends" 3. Sarah McLachlan, "Surfacing" - told ya… 4. Morrissey, "Viva Hate" 5. Natalie Imbruglia, "Torn" CD-single - it's just such a cool song… 6. The Smiths, "Rank" 7. U2, "Achtung Baby" 8. (Canadian Prod.) "Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" 9. Queen, "The Very Best of Queen" 10. The Cure, "Disintegration" Holy, who's stuck in the Eighties? *fine print: Lists are the opinion of the author, who reminds readers that the most effective way to disagree with my opinions is to make your own list!

She has a webring by the same name, for Emm Gryner sites, but she is about to pull the plug on it because nobody is on the ring except her (and my headline-girl site).
