I’m very happy that Tearliner once again agreed to list his favorite albums from the year that just passed for Indieful ROK. See, in addition to being a very talented songwriter himself, Tearliner also has an awesome taste in music with music director work for Coffee Prince and other dramas and movies behind him. I foresee that much of my own music listening will be based on the below at the very least for the next month.
