[wptabtitle]My List[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]
Hi! I’m Brian Block, Pop Rock Nation’s lead album reviewer. Because I strongly prefer to write about music I like instead of music I don’t, and also because people like lists, I shall be posting brief reviews of my 50 Favorite Albums of 2012. Each mini-review will be accompanied by a relevant YouTube link.
I will do the list in countdown form. Meanwhile, here is the alphabetical list of the albums I intend to cover. It will be updated with links to the mini-reviews as I write and post them. (After-the-fact note: not so mini in most cases. I kind of gave up on that notion.)
