Yeah a big snoozer this year was Pearl Jams release.

Overall I was pleased with music this year. I found a lot of great music. Too bad you didn't.

There's been a lot of good music released this year, but my standard for anything that belongs on a "best of" list is whether I can imagine myself still listening to it five years from now. With that in mind, only a handful made the grade.

Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam
Ben Harper - Both Sides of the Gun
Tom Waits - Orphans
The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers
Cat Power - The Greatest
My Morning Jacket - Okonokos
The Black Angels - Passover
