There you have it, those are some of my picks. I do not know much about the world of rap/hip hop, country, or classical and didn’t want to pick in areas that I had no knowledge. I’d like the record to show that Category 22 was my toughest choice between Beck or Radiohead, I hate when so many good artists are in the same category. Into the vault until February 8th at 8pm.
