Year-end lists are contentious by nature. Whether these lists point toward under-appreciated albums or overrated singles, they invariably cause debate. In the next week, Torontoist will hope to cause a debate of our own, as we put out a few lists detailing the year that was in music, theatre and maybe other stuff. Look forward to that before the New Year. In the meantime, look at all the contentiousness that this list caused.

Readership is appreciated. Comments are enjoyed. Torontoist continues.
