Sadly, yes.

[Poll #1085055]

Have you ever bought a record because of an end-of-year round-up? Was the NME's Christmas double issue ever a beloved yuletide tradition? What was the last end-of-year poll that actually managed to make you cross?

I'll usually pick a top 3 albums and a CD-R's worth of favorite songs (not limited to singles). I try to keep it more to "this is music that I really enjoyed this year" rather than a pointlessly definitive "this is the best music that came out all year." I find I'm always slightly behind anyway. I often won't hear some of the "best music" of a year until January of the next year, when I'm reading all the round-ups. If the writer describes it in an interesting way, or it comes up in several lists, or I've been meaning to check it out anyway but forgot about it, then I'll seek it out.

I start thinking about the year-end lists in the summer, and sometimes throw together a short list, but I really don't think about it again until December. This thread has inspired me though - maybe I'll get started on that.

December 2014
