Making a sequential list like this is a 50-way balancing act, and how I feel on any given day can determine whether something ends up at #17 or #43 or even makes the list at all. I do like the sequential list though, because it does weight my favourites more heavily. Giving someone fifty or a hundred bands they've never heard of won't result in them becoming a fan of every single thing on there, or even bothering to check them out. When you read my top ten you will know that I did spend a good deal of time deciding what goes ahead of what. Call me a nerd, but this stuff is important to me. I also want to make sure the most worthwhile music I heard this year gets a mention. So to make sure I don't overlook anything that I did enjoy but didn't feel like writing about for whatever reason, here now are the honourable mentions.
