Almost too close to call, this year Taz wins by a furry nose over CD Plus. Owner Bob Switzer explains what works for Taz: “My 44 years of experience and a full head of hair.” He credits his staff too. “My brilliant cohorts may have something to do with it, but my hair is far superior to theirs.” Switzer doesn’t hesitate to mention his passion for and knowledge of music. “I’m an ex-history teacher. I’ve been doing it here for years with no chalk on my fingers.” 1588 Argyle Street, 422-5976
1st runner-up: CD Plus, 1592 Barrington, 422-1559
2nd runner-up: Random Play, 1577 Barrington, 445-1056
