Noise Annihilates Top 21s

2002 is over. This means that it's time to put together a best of list. my list has assumed numerous forms in the past couple weeks as I continued to edit it and discover albums I had forgotten about. I had originally planned on having seperate lists for new releases, reissues, and compilations. but I'm not that creative, so I just lumped them all into one large list. if that bothers you, too fucking bad. it's my list and not yours. I'm pretty sure at some point soon there will be a full set of WPRB DJ best of lists on WPRB's website, though I don't know when. so here's my list. enjoy.
