Echoes Poll Opens-John Diliberto’s Top Ten

THE ECHOES 2011 LISTENER POLL IS OPEN

 I submitted Top Ten lists to Echoes affiliate WXPN, in the beginning of November.

Personally, I think polls are a blast.  I love reading the albums that other DJs, critics and personalities have created.  Whether they affirm my own tastes and opinions or elicit a WTF reaction, it serves as something of a compass to what’s happening out in the world and in other people’s heads.

My Top Ten Lists can change from one minute to the next.  Here’s the list I came up with for WXPN.
