WOXY.COM: 97 best of 2005 - dec. 14 and 15
The 22nd Annual 97 Best Countdown is too big a deal to contain to one day so this year, we'll spread it out over two. We're scouring over all of the releases we officially playlisted this year - that'd be over 400* full-length CD's, EP's & singles - to come up with a 97 Best list that we feel best represents what WOXY.COM was about this year.
Consider this your invite (no RSVP necessary): Weds., Dec. 14 & Thurs., Dec. 15 from Noon - 4p EST, Barb, Shiv & myself will count 'em down AND for the first time ever, we'll be able to archive the entire 97 Best so you can listen to an on-demand stream of the countdown for up to two weeks after it airs. It's always a lot of fun, so make plans to join us.
