Best of The Year: Chris Farren (Fake Problems), Cam Taylor (Senders), Bill (Evil Weevil Records)

Ah, it's that time of year again. Mass commercialism in the form of thoughtless gifts rests under the tree, holiday music dominates terrestrial radio, and Punknews.org asks every industry person under the sun for a list of their favorite records. You might remember this from last year, but if not, the idea is fairly self-explanatory. For the next few weeks, we'll be posting at least three lists each day from people in bands, at labels or at any other industry job for you to gawk at, debate about and just generally absorb.

To kick things off, we've got lists from Fake Problems frontman Chris Farren, Cam Taylor of Senders and No Idea Records, and William of Evil Weevil Records. You can click Read More for the lists.
