What's almost as fun as listening to music? Talking about music!
Our annual Best of the Year Listener Poll: Every year we ask you to tell us what music you've discovered and loved, and we tell you our personal favorites, too. We've also asked for your all-time Essential favorites in several forms. This works best as a dialogue, right?
