JOHN BOMMARITO'S Best of 2012


JOHN BOMMARITO'S Best of 2012

The annual list, compiled in the usual way - mathematically.  Each album gets a possible score of 10X the number of songs on the release (i.e. 12 songs, possible 120 points).  Then each song is rated on a 1-10 scale and math places them from top to bottom on the list.  As usual, a few side categories this year such as Covers Album (including ones that may have included a few originals, but the covers were dominant) best of collection (since usually all the songs have been released before in one form or another), Christmas (again, usually full of covers), Various Artists (contains previously released songs, but perhaps in a different version and not necessarily one artist throughout the disc), EP (7 songs or less) and live release.    If you have a list, feel free to send it to me.


(if a specific version is mentioned in parentheses, you can assume it has additional tracks over the standard release)
