I purchased approx. 2-3 cd's and/or vinyl per month. I too have to say it was the "older" acts that impressed me the most this past year. In addition to those mentioned already, I was very happy with the reissues of Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Bob Dylan's "Essential" compilation, which IMHO was remastered beautifully. I also enjoyed Bryan Ferry's new release "Frantic."
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.
