Some of these are obvious Xian selections; I am looking at you Morissey. By the same token, there is at least one on here that was not necessarily sanctioned, and more just tolerated, by Xian. Can you guess which one? There are a few that took a while to grow on me and some that I might never truly appreciate, Papillon anyone? That said, I think this is a great roundup of what has been in heavy rotation around our house for the past year. Incidentally, in case you are curious, Luz's personal favorite is the Voxtrot song.
