  1. Interesting to see John Grant leap to number 1: great album. I got 3 best of year cds this year. Only one track featured on two of them, by Carolina Chocolate Drops. I thought it was a Cambridge Folk Festival thing, but now I see them high on your list as well. Not sure about extending it to 60. I know quite a lot of the bottom 20 & imho there are some ropey albums in there!
