My favorite dis was from one of the women, I paraphrase, but gist of comment regarding pitchfork elitism was "I just don't get Animal Collective!" Been listening to Strawberry Jam last few weeks and to my ears truer words this year have not been spoken...Like so much expiremental stuff but just about everything this band does seems offputting, wimpy, and inscrutable...to each his own, but personally will never understand the love P4K or many posters on this board feel for this band. |

OH I like it like it like it like it! CMG's list is wonderful. It's just so f**cking original! And I don't even really like their unusual first place very much. I was glad to see Panda Bear, SOTL, Animal Collective, of Montreal and of course the National in the top 20. And it's a shocking fact that 6 of their top 10 albums don't even appear in P4K's top 50!!

Good to see that one list got the memo that Deer Tick's "War Elephant" is an absolutely terrific album. It's about time that album got some love...
I never hated any of you/I loved you all at the time |

Thrilled to see Supersilent ranked so high.
Am I mistaken or is the CMG list the only list anywhere to rate it? 'for my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset, and the baths of all the western stars, until I die.' |

Supersilent's 8 received 8.4 from Pitchfork (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/ 47065-8) but didn't appear on their year-end list as well as Menomena (!!) that received 8.5. It's a bit funny that Deer Tick received 5.8 from P4K. And do you really think that This Bliss is better than From Here We Go Sublime? I was rather disoriented by Pantha Du Prince at the 6th.

Here's a mildly amusing top-50 song list, with each song dedicated to a sports personality:

Just saw that there was going to be a yahoo end of year list (sorry if it's already been posted). It's surprisingly very good, one of the best I've seen this year:

I thought it was a pretty good list. But, the comments after the list are hysterical.
Never heard of Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Spoon, etc. Ha! Or even better:
He might have a point with the anti-depressants comment! I've got to listen to of Montreal again. And, here's another choice one:
"Worst. List. Ever." Kinda says it all about the poster. Hey Hudson, was that you? And finally, this classic:
Megadeath at #1. That's just adorable, isn't it? And he thinks our taste in music is a bunch of crap?!?!! The moral of this story is, if you're going to be a music critic for Yahoo! Music, you should know your audience. ________________ Caught between a generation dying from their habits and another thinking rock 'n roll is new. |

Ha! Yeah... I enjoyed the comments too. Most of them had heard of Bruce Springsteen but were absolutely stumped by the rest of the list. Quality. "I know that human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully" |

Hadn't read the comments after, they are hilarious. I was pleasantly surprised becuase since it was Yahoo (a big company), I was thinking it was going to be all "popular" music. Had much more of an "indie" feel (whatever that means) than I would have expected. |

Yeah the Yahoo list is pretty decent, but it's got nothing on the comments that follow, so good in fact I'm considering leaving Metacritic to go and hang out with the clearly much more knowledgable Yahoo music crowd. Here's a few crackers:
This guy gets to the bottom of why Radiohead really chose their method of album release:
Yahoo music users are true music fans:
But here's the winner:
Where's the Nirvana in our lists people? And see that? You cannot make a best music list for 07! Shit! Quick, someone delete the Final Best 2007 Album Lists thread. |

Wonder if he used the FKA-EG75 scoring method... Pretty interesting list though. He's clearly got too much time on his hands... (oh the irony!) "I know that human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully" |
