Idolator

Omnivorous online music mag Stylus sadly shut down several months before we started our Year-End Analysis series, but they helpfully published their 2007 Top 50 albums and singles lists before bowing out. So welcome to the first retroactive installment, where LCD Soundsystem once again tops both lists. (And they got the right single this time.) Both lists are after the jump if you missed 'em, but first an adieu to the site by way of our summary thoughts.

THE GOOD: Hey, look, the first list that actually remembers that electronic/dance music still exists, and/or that Justice wasn't the only dance act to release an LP this year. Plus stuff that gets played on the radio that's not "Umbrella" or Kanye West! It's like popular music actually has some breadth or something.
THE BAD: We actually have little in the way of beef with these lists, though they do confirm that Miranda Lambert, a very goood singer who made a solid album, has found herself turned into the Muzik Mafia of '07 by the planet's rock critics.
THE WHAAA?: Vampire Weekend's single ahead of Rihanna, R. Kelly, Lil Mama, and the best song off the Kanye LP? Also we're starting to feel like the only people on Earth who got a rah-rah rash whenever Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" came on MTV. Even Stephen King liked it!
