Over to YOU: RBP Readers Vote!!
Various Writers, Rock's Backpages, December 2001
RBP's TWO-PART epic "Cry Me A River: The 100 Most Heartbreaking Records Ever Made" feature sparked a torrent – well, a stream, anyway – of feedback. Emails poured in expressing everything from delighted concurrence to howling protest. Many thanks to everyone who wrote.
Similarly, our "Best A Year Can Get!" list of 2001's Best 30 Albums and Tracks elicited a large number of nominations, several of which had completely passed us by. Again, thanks. It's always great to hear from you.
We thought it would be nice to run a selection of your responses to both lists, so here they are...
