It's been a wild ride these past few years, but I'm finally out of the VMP club.
This year's favorites, in no particular order:
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
The Strokes - Room On Fire
Donna Summer - Bad Girls
OutKast - ATLiens (hopefully disc 2 still arrives after cancellation)
DARKSIDE - Psychic
I think that might be the first best of list I've seen without any Classics.
I slept on the Strokes, thought it would hold out another month.
