Thanks for that in advance, Ian. Looking forward to a Top 30 list that doesn't include "Taylor, GaGa, or Bieber"... 
well...
No, it doesn't Mike

I knew I could count on you
Every "Best of list" I've run across so far, from "serious" publications and programs seem to be all of the one's listed above!
Have to say Taylor swifts album was very good. Have you heard any of those albums you list?
Yeah, actually it's not a secret, I have.
I've heard parts of their latest offerings. Enough to know I'm not interested in hearing any more. TS's country pop never interested me, although I guess with her latest with the guy from "the National" she's dropped just singing about her ex's.. Likewise was never a fan of GaGa's dance pop(although my hair dresser was a BIG fan). She has a decent voice, and from what I heard of her Tony Bennett duets could be a good singer if she was inclined to learn jazz vocals from jazz artists. That might interest me.
As far as Bieber goes, well.... he's "Bieber" after all.
Although he has some cool tats I hear.
