*drum roll*
Alright, alright. The much-anticipated "Anne's favorite music of 2003" list. To warn you, a couple of EPs and reissues were included. Also - keep in mind that it just wasn't possible for me to listen to *all* of the music released in 2003, so I'm sure I'm missing some quality albums. What is one to do?
