Here is the top ten:
1. Gillian Welch – The Harrow and the Harvest
2. Alison Krauss & Union Station - Paper Airplane
3. Steve Martin & Steep Canyon Rangers - Rare Bird Alert
4. Decemberists - The King is Dead
5. Bela Fleck & The Flecktones - Rocket Science
6. Tedeschi-Trucks Band - Revelator
7. Wilco - The Whole Love
8. Tara Nevins – Wood and Stone
9.Tom Waits – Bad As Me
10. Abigail Washburn – City of Refuge
The rest of the list is here. I had 4 and 7 on my top ten and 1 and 8 as honorable mentions. My other picks are 11, 25, 32, 68 and 92 on the WNCW list.The WNCW list showed no love for the BoDeans, Steve Earle and Old 97s.
No Steve Earle makes me want to repeat my favorite comment on the No Depression list:
So Steve Earle's album didn't make the community top 50. It didn't make my top ten or my honorable mentions, but I definitely liked it. I'm somewhat surprised he didn't get enough votes, given his higher profile and I think he put out a pretty good album. Just a curious observation.
My reply:
In other words: "I'm really surprised that people didn't like Steve Earle's album more than I did. What's wrong with you people? Just a curious observation."
