AUDITIES TOP 20 OF 2005 POLL RESULTS
This year, we had 104 votes, a bit lower than the last
few years. Yet again, we had a clear number one, with
a close competition this time out for the number two
spot. This list reflects some different strains of
pop that Auditeers dig -- from pure power pop to cool
new indie pop. I thank everyone who submitted their
favorites for the year. As usual, I discovered some
new things from your lists and I’m sure that’s true
for many list members. -- Mike Bennett
