Best of the Year on Music - 2012

Attention: Please read this words to understand what this is all about:


Every year I made up a list of nominees and ask people to vote to elect thew winners on each category. That "Tradition" of mine started back on the now distant times of 1999 first as one of my unusual, original creations to entertain myself on such a monotonous and ptedictable world, but then it developed on a way for me to analyse and make conclusions about music, mixing two of my main passions: Music + Statistics, and recently it became also a way to say "Fuck off MTV, Billboard, VH1, Rolling Stone, Grammys, to the hell with you all, I don't need you to tell me aboiut music, because I know better than you and i'm not doing this just because i'm paid by record companies and other corporations, keep selling your products, and I will keep praising MUSIC"

Now please if you cast your votes on the comments, I will really appreciate it! I'm asking certain qualified people to vote, but you don't have to know me or to be invited to vote, if you jist somehow arrived here, feel free to vote too if you want, any contribution from people that REALLY love and understand music will be appreciated too!

Maybe you will have fun participating on this too, who knows?

Results will be posted on December 28th, so you have untill the Dec 27th to vote

Thanks in advance!
