LA LISTA MAS ESPERADA-DAVID BASH

Como cada año la supermegalista de David Bash es esperada con impaciencia por los lectores y particpantes de audities. Como siempre con diferentes apartados (cd, eps, reediciones, compilaciones, parejas, etc..). Lo que yo dudo mucho es que se pueda oir todos esos discos al cabo del año...¿o si?.

Y este año los ganadores son....

 ah! y con lucky soul en el puesto 102!!!

Hi Everyone,

I've been listening, re-listening, and re-re-re listening to many of these
discs, and checking out albums from 2007 which I didn't find until 2008, and
I've finally reached the point of diminishing returns.  So, without further
ado, here are my lists.  Enjoy, if you dare!
--
Lists Rule!!!!!
Take Care,
David
