I usually hate "best" lists, but I'll play and like someone said, call it my "favorites" list.

my favorite posted below ... it's almost like he had no idea that any music was released outside of major labels this year ... the beck reference is hilarious ...
 
 ---------------
 
 KIX BROOKS
 Brooks & Dunn
 
 Latest release: "Hillilly Deluxe" (Arista Nashville)
 
  <img src="http://http://www.billboard.com/billboard/photos/art/b/brooks_and_dunn_03l.gif" alt=" - " />
 
 1. Sheryl Crow, "Wildflower" (A&M/Interscope). Can't believe how hard she's trying to make it look like her and Lance. She's crazy about me!
 
 2. Alicia Keys, "Unplugged" (J). Like her better this way, when I'm moody. She's got a neat voice, better without production for my money.
 
 3. Nickelback, "All the Right Reasons" (Roadrunner). My kind of rock, actually find some melody in there!
    
 4. Black Eyed Peas, "Monkey Business" (A&M/Interscope). Tons of fun, unpredictable, energy to run to.
 
 5. Green Day, "American Idiot" (Reprise). There's a reason these guys are in stadiums -- the gun is always cocked here. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" feels like it could explode at any minute and they've defined a look and vibe of their own since they first came out.
 
 6. Faith Hill, "Fireflies" (Warner Bros.). Always fun to see an old friend do good. When you wait as long as she did, whether your having babies or not, there's always a great pressure to do something superhuman. She did something honest and good. I think that's better.
 
 7. Santana, "All That I Am" (Aristsa). Hell yeah! Bring it. Don't know what they're saying half the time, but who cares. Love him, always have. Great guest cut with Los Lonely Boys kills me.
 
 8. Keith Urban, "Be Here" (Capitol). Think he's the most talented guy we got in country music. Wish it was me, but it's not. I could practice guitar all day every day and not play half that good.
 
 9. Coldplay, "X&Y" (Capitol). Rock with some sense to it. Fun in the car.
 
 10. Beck, "Guero" (Interscope). Though not my favorite Beck album, I like it a lot. He's my favorite "new" rock guy.

I think the fact that Rascal Flatts picked the Gwen Stefani album pretty much settles the Gwen Stefani album quarrel from the oven thread.

i think that so many "musicians" chose the black eyed peas makes me slightly nauseous

Besides Brooks, it's just a guy from Sevendust and some dude named Sergio Mendes who is on the Starbucks label.
 
 I liked that John Doe put his own album in his list.

and some dude named Sergio Mendes
