Från: Ron Platzer Skickat: den 13 december 2005 00:45 Till: Ron Platzer Ämne: BEST OF 2005 final draft OK folks, here it is - the Ron Platzer "Best Of 2005" list. So many great records this year, it was difficult to put this list together. And not only new releases, but also so many great reissues, and gigs. Be sure to take a close look at the "Watch 'Em In 2006" list for my picks for best hopefuls for the new year. Should be a good one. With that, thank you to every single label, manager, artist, and agent whose artist is represented here, for keeping music exciting and keeping my passion for it alive. All the best to you, for the upcoming holidays, and a safe and successful 2006 to you all. - Ron RON PLATZER'S FAVORITE RELEASES OF 2005 01.
