CDs Listened To in 2012
As music bloggers, we listen to A LOT of music. And I don't mean a regular "lot", I mean A LOT. We keep track of what albums we listen to throughout the year, just so we can go back and reflect, or perhaps to try to remember which ones we liked best (some of these albums have little stars or track numbers next to them). This comes in handy when creating our "favorite of the year" lists.
We also publish the list of what we've listened to that year, just to show you all how much time and effort actually goes into this. Now, this is only the list of ALBUMS that we listened to (or sampled - it doesn't mean that every CD on here got a full run). This doesn't include singles or trying out new artists or whatnot. So, think about HOW MUCH MUSIC IS IN OUR LIVES while you glance through this list (please GOD don't read it all!).
PS - for the record, in 2012 we listened to 688 albums. Down from the year before, but still nothing to balk at.
