what do you reckon will top the Wire's list? London Zoo?
but it's still only november!
but the magazines, they always publish issues a month or two early. what's with that? why's the november issue labelled the december issue?
It's the same list but in different orders. Looking forward to seeing Wire's top ten too!

full list and details here. i'm interested in reading xlr8r's top 10
uncut's list goes to show they know their shit. i can't believe that portishead ain't getting more love.
all those lists are shit
London Zoo should top all these crappy lists
uncut's list probably the best so far. haven't even heard the paul weller album though, which isn't like me at all.
Vampire Weekend?
no wonder the kids aren't buying records anymore. If I believed this was all there was to choose from I'd quit music for good.
what the fuck?
who could possibly even rate this album let alone make it number one??!
now, i love zooey deschanel, in a totally uncool way, but this album is just plain woeful.
Maxim Blender's Top 33
metallica, robyn and randy newman
boy
btw heb, did you notice that Q's list is missing #45? i did only because stereogum told me so
even hiponion's list is better than these.
and where the fuck is kanye?
and didn't robyn's cd come out like 6 years ago?
that wouldn't even have leaked when these were compiled.

Numbers 11 – 50
Fleet Foxes at #1 on Pitchfork. You guys know where to find it.
Fucking Fleet Fucking shit fucking cunt shit fuck. I hate them!!!
I don't know if it's worth hating on an innocent indie-folk album astral. Better to direct your disdain at the publications that pimp it as anything approaching remarkable.
True enough. I can't believe the widespread regard in which this album is held. Its servicable at best, boring at worst. When GB release their newy they'll blow this Fleet Foxes mania away and people will realise what they've been missing, and the mediocrity they've accepted in an attempt to fill the void.
Jesus.
Stephen King's 2008 top ten, from Entertainment Weekly.
There's two things on there I'd like to hear, but the blurbs are shocking and his number one pick appalling.
!
eh? you mean pre-buckingham/nicks, presumably? still a big 'eh' i reckon if yr talking about fleet foxes.
I predict that this time next year someone posts the following....
Fucking Grizzly Bear shit fucking cunt shit fuck. I hate them!!!
Astral, do you generally hate the FF record or do you just hate that they're topping all these lists? Did you expect Pitchfork to give album of the year to Pocahaunted?
EG's end of year wrap up
ticks all the boxes.
Carew! Hahaha.
for those who haven't had quite enough yet
pop in print has andyr's top three.
Big list up at the I94 Bar, from some interesting folks.
looking forward to the rock-a-rolla list, but its not in the nov/dec issue like usual so i guess i'll have to wait till next year.
ha! who reads 'published' media anymore
the wire's list is the only one worth a damn and yet it still reads like 'top 50 artists most likely to read the wire'
