My friends!

I've had to think long and hard as to how I should do the requisite end of year lists. So, after much head scratching, I've come up with the following breakdown. I hope these lists will help you find some amazing music to enjoy in the years ahead!

So here are my lists - in three parts - there is overlap between them of course. But let me just add that every artist that I've had the pleasure of sharing with you on ShockPop during 2009 is a gem! They all deserve your attention. You won't be disappointed if you check them out, befriend them and support them!
