HISTORY AND SELF-EFFACING NOTES

So here's the story. In the winter of 1998, inspired by Mike McMillan compiling his own version of the Oscars, I decided to take my crack at the Grammys. The Timmy Awards were born.

The first year was an exercise that reminded me of how little my listening habits actually fit in with the established group of Grammy categories- looking at it now I wonder why I tried to stick to that format. The second year saw me moving over to a Top 25 format, with some commentary on each album to justify its ranking. Year three and Year four both lack commentary and I've been wanting to flesh them out- maybe someday. I've been on track and relatively on time since then. Year nine saw me moving to a Top 50, where it will hopefully remain. Year Ten is a Top 50 plus links to YouTube clips on almost every entry.
