No good new music?


Curious as to how many 2002 new releases people bought this year - I bought a lot of music this year in general, but also felt like there was a lot of good new release this year as well. Being nearly the end of the year, I looked at my music inventory spreadsheet for how many 2002 releases I had and came up at >40.

How many 2002 releases have some of you purchased? It seems like this is some measure of how much good "new" music there is out there.

I probably bought somewhere in the region of thirty or so.
There is usually always some good new music about it's really a case of researching your preffered genres and taking the odd risk.
I'll post my top ten or so releases a bit later-I tended to find this year that quite a few of the better releases were from older established acts-Tom Waits,Bowie,Gabriel,Robert Plant and Springsteen.
I think it often takes a lot longer than a few months to establish how good a record is overall.
One of my friends was remarking that when he looks over the end of year lists he keeps that some of his lower entries are now rated much higher and the top discs left unplayed.
Still there are always fun to do and read over......
Lazarus-Ryan Adams Heartbreaker is from 2000-he's had 2 records released since then Gold (2001) and Demolition this year.
Richingoth I have those two as well- both quite likely to make my top ten....................
