We asked listeners to pick their Top 10 CDs which will be tabulated into a list of 200 CDs for 20 Years of Echoes. The only requirements were they had to have been played on Echoes, but could have been released at any time. I’ve modified those rules for my list, limiting myself to the my favorite 20 CDs released during the 20 years of Echoes. You can vote for your own in the Echoes 20th Anniversary Listener Poll

who the heck is BT #11???????? have you been listening to yourself all these years?
Hmm. Yeah, maybe 11 wasn’t high enough since listeners has him at #4. Someone’s been listening, I guess 😉
As a long-time listener, I wish to congratulate and thank you for a wonderful, uplifting, fascinating twenty years of mesmerizing and ethereal music. Music that is often woven into my daily (and nightly) existence.
Hello from Malibu!
We love ECHOES!
You play the best, coolest, and most interesting and artistic music on your show!
Here’s to 20 more years!!
