2007 - The Year in Music

THE RSL MUSIC AWARDS - 2007

Art by the Surgeon General

THE YEAR IN MUSIC:

It is with great pleasure I share with you the award selections for the last year in music. Some selections were harder than others... All of the music is exceptional!

Again - for regular readers, this is a repeat theme: I have bit off more than I can chew so I will have to split this program into two parts. The first is today's BIG LIST. Here you will find the legitimate RSL Music Awards and links for downloading exceptional songs from top new artists. The second part of this post will air tomorrow. This will be the guest section in which readers, musicians and special guests (fellow bloggers, promotions, folks from record label, etc...) will share their favorites and tell you why they picked 'em. What happens, often, is that I try to get more accomplished than I can in the time provided to me. To new readers: I don't work in the music industry - and this blog is a complete labour of love.

That being said - return tomorrow - and everyday if you like what you see!

THE TOP 40 ALBUMS OF 2007: (# 1 - 15) (#16 - 40)
