This list is a comprehensive list compiled by the “Who’s Who” of the Zimmermann Note. I can only comment that the corporate-style board meetings discussing the merits of these as well as those songs left off were at times contentious.
Our dream team of experts thought this list of 87 represented 2010 perfectly.
A couple things . . .
If your favorite band/song is not located here could be for several reasons:
- They suck. – At some point someone should probably tell you that and better me than when you think you are all cool blaring it out the window.
- Your favorite band’s music is not on Mediafire or similar location to get your music for free and/or your favorite band is not offering enough free music to it’s dream team of experts in order to encourage them to listen.
This handpicked group of musicians, music producers, industry insiders and Canadians have offered this list to you in hopes that you become a better person.
