CameToPlay 3 years in a row now the "working group" puts together a very nice ranking and recap but does something completely tone deaf that makes one wonder what biases are at play. 2013 - 7/14/13 doesn't sniff the top 10 (minor infraction) and 7/31/13 ranks ahead of 12/29/13 and 10/20/13. What? 2014 - 8/31/14 pops up in the 5 slot ahead of 10/28, 11/2 and 12/31. What? 2015 - Putting the transgression against MPP1 aside (I'd have it 5th or 6th), how the hell is Shoreline 5th? Pedestrian 1st set in a year when there were so many good ones, and a very good 2nd set, but one without a single top 20 jam of the year, and none of versions played are the best versions of the year for those particular songs (arguably Hood. I like Magna's better). I get that if 1 or 2 or even 3 people make a list there will be some weird stuff. But how does Shoreline make #5 (I'd have it 10th - 12th), when there are presumably enough people in this group of seasoned listeners to smooth out the biases? Then again if you all have Shoreline 5th and I have it 11th, maybe we aren't that far apart :)

Here is the correct top 6. I look forward to my changes being implemented ;)

1) 8/22/15 - Magnaball 2
2) 12/31/15 - New Years Eve
3) 8/12/15 - Mann 2
4) 7/31/15 - Atlanta 1
5) 8/15/15 - MPP 1
6) 8/21/15 - Magna 1
