2,000 hamsters can't be wrong.

Top That!
Having trawled around my blog archives to find last year's list of favourite this and that, I have decided to use that as a template and add (or possibly even (gasp!) retract) categories as I go along. So, here is...(cue fanfare)...

Hey! Make your own lists, for Bob's sake! ;-)
And no, I wouldn't make Antony & The Johnsons as the runner-up, because I haven't quite got used to the album yet and don't think it's among the best of last year just because the NME thinks so. *blows a raspberry*
