My copy says (c) 2002 all over it, and I don't recall it being released until that February, which is why I discounted it from my 2001 voting. You didn't count the CANADIAN release date, did you? Because that's cheating. I think.

Anyway. I'm gonna list my own list all over your list's hair. INDIE ROCK RELEASE DATE FIGHTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

in the states it wasn't released until 2002, but i am hardcore in love with mr. desser so i got it from maple music when it ACTUALLY came out - december 2001! mwah! ;) the way i see it, if it's released by a country in your continent, then you should consider it being released the year it was originally released, i suppose.

one should never argue with ms. leigh over music, especially over hayden. durr.

and! i am amazed at how much i agree with you [tho you know the prom would be higher on my list because of my being retarded in love with james] and also doubleplus pleased that i was at a ridiculous amount of the shows on your favorites list.

yay 4132!

this is brilliant, your thoroughness rocks me, it makes me think we should get dressed up and hand out little award statuettes made out of cadburry cream eggs and vanilla coke bottle tops.

i don't think i'm gay enough, because i don't know who a lot of those bands are.

and, i have eight cds on your 'definitive wantlist'.

Like you, I kept working on my list in midst of homework yesterday. The album list is easy, but I am having a lot of trouble with my songs of the year.
