3 JANUARY 2001

A welcome to all those from Excellentonline.com as we counted down the top 30 songs of the year 2000 as voted by their mailing list members. Results aside, it was an interesting ride as a brief member of the Excellent crew. As for the results, it's always nice to see the opinions of others and there are a few tracks that were previously unknown. Koala was a nice surprise, a band I'll be keeping my ear out for in the future....
