For our last show of 2012, we presented some of the best releases of the year (solely in the opinion of the staff, management and ownership of Punk Melody Time Incorporated). There was so much to play that we didn't have time for even half of it, so there will be a "Part Two" on January 3rd. For the first time ever, we indulged in a few "Double Shots" (as us radio types like to call them) when a band put out a particularly strong album or more than one top-notch release. 

For those of you who take "best-of" lists seriously (unlike me), keep in mind that this is just some of the best of what crossed my ears this year and that I certainly didn't hear every record that was released (and thank goodness for that because I bet a lot of them sucked). So here you go, for what it's worth. Part Two coming soon.

(As required, we pause at the one-hour mark for the Classic Rock Challenge)
