The 2010 “House of Trophies” awards
We loved a lot of records that came out this year. Others… well… not so much. This is the beginning of our 2010 coverage, the first-ever “House of Trophies” awards. Why name it “House of Trophies”? Well… remember when you were a kid and you’d get a participation trophy at the end of t-ball season? It’s like that. You may not have won the league, but you tried. I hope there’s a coach/producer/etc. who can run down to House of Trophies and pick up some participation awards for the following artists. They won’t be listed in my year-end breakdowns, but they deserve credit for trying.
Thanks for participating in music this year!
You earn a participation trophy!
