THE ECHOES LISTENER POLL25 FAVORITE CDs of 1999 |
By tallying listener votes, giving weight to your rankings of first, second and third places, we arrived at this list of your 25 favorite 25 discs of 1999. It's a great list, although a few winners made us wonder if some votes were for sentimental favorites rather than the current CD from 1999. Regardless, we present the results as we got them. Thanks to everyone for voting. And congratulations to our winner of the 5 Living Room Concert CDs.
We also have a list of the Echoes staff picks for the "Essential Echoes CDs" of the year. You can check out that list, along with lists from previous years at the Essential Echoes Page.
