Christianity Today.com's "Best Christian Albums of 2002"

From the site:
"Regarding this years selection process for the best Christian Music Albums of 2002, I think I can speak for all six panelists by saying that it was a trickier process than expected. There was no shortage in excellent music this year, as reflected by the huge list of nominations; we brought close to 50 to the table, and we could have easily presented a lot more! You can click on the panelists names anywhere in this feature to view their individual lists and note all the different albums that were considered; clicking on the album images will take you directly to Musicforce.com to listen to sound clips and buy the album. Despite the varying tastes and opinions, twelve albums rose to the top to make the final list. Additionally, the top three of those twelve blew away the competition, and the top two ranked within a whisker of each other."

Ranked in reverse order, from #12 to #1. After that, 12 "honorable mention" titles.
