I'll apologize in advance that I played most of my favorite shows, but I played a bunch of kick ass shows and since I couldn't even come up with 10 LPs I liked from this year (and I bought a lot...) I'll stick to making this list. Plus I can never remember when records come out anyway and I put shows on my calendar so I don't forget. I had to narrow down to 11 and there were other really good shows- roughly chronological...
Box Elders and Grave Blankets at Bobo
Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones, Pink Reason, Michael Zink's Silent Drape Runners and Grave Blankets at Carabar (GB's last show and a great finale!)
Mudhoney, Grafton and Cheater Slicks at Bobo
Cheater Slicks, Witch Hats and Fey Gods at Bobo
Feelers last show at Bobo w/ krunchies and Vegetative State!
Eat Skull, Little Claw and Fey Gods in Chicago (had to see them again when they came to Columbus 2 days later even though I was exhausted)
Aluminum Knot Eye (We have to bring these guys to Columbus!!), Gut Reactions and Fey Gods in Milwaukee
Jandek (even though the band may have been better if Jankek wasn't playing with them)
Thomas Function, Fey Gods, Outer Spacist and Day Creeper at the Summit
Homosexuals, Guinea Worms, Fey Gods at the Summit
Los Llamarada, Psychedelic Horseshit, Fey Gods at Summit
Biggest disappointments of the year was that pjflyer didn't take me to see Nick Cave, Lou Reed and the Pogues...
