For the third year in a row, I present to you my top albums and movies of the year. As I was preparing these lists, I looked back on the previous two year’s lists and I must say that I am embarrassed by some of my choices for previous year’s top tens. Oh well, I suppose one’s preferences change as time goes by.
This year I have decided to do something different with the lists and include a new category: top albums of the previous year. I chose to do this because a lot of albums came out last year that I didn’t discover until this year - enough for me to make a top ten list out of it.
Also, I didn’t see many movies in theatres this year, so the movie list is a tad short. I’m ashamed that I have to include some of the movies I saw in the list, but most of the movies I watched this year were older, so despite the fact that I saw a lot of films, most of them don’t qualify for the list. Otherwise, everything is as normal.
