absolutely abysmal band on so many different levels.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but Lil Wayne and the Clipse aren't good. They aren't terrible, but they're far from great. And if no one believes me I have copies of Only Built for Cuban Linx and Liquid Swords to send you. If P-fork hadn't hyped them to no end, no one would even bother mentioning their names. Both acts can rap but their lyrics are abysmal and it would be ridiculous for me or anyone for that matter to put them in a top 10 list despite having chorus' that basically only go "Bitch I'm so Trill."

With that in mind, here was my list
10. Voxtrot, 9. Comets on Fire, 8. The Black Keys, 7. Beirut 6. Grizzly Bear 5. The Decemberists 4. The Raconteurs 3. My Morning Jacket 2. Ghostface 1. The Hold Steady

And you guys really need to stop hating on the Silversun Pickups. They aren't mindblowing or anything but they're a good band that has built up a fan base out here,not based off of any absurdly inflated blog hype, but out of just being a fun live act. Leave that elitist condescension to P-fork. It's funny how a lot of blog bands gets knocked for having sub-par lyrics (and granted the Pickups aren't exactly Shakespeare) but I don't see anyone attacking The Rapture and yes TV on the Radio for having average at best lyrics. Or even Animal Collective whose lyrics have about as much depth as a tube of toothpast. Just something to think about. However, I do agree #7 for the Pickups was a bit high.

Pitchfork brutally called them out in the PLUG awards nominees announcement earlier this week and now this.

But everyone is totally down with the Hold Steady, America's most pretentious bar band.

Idolator always seems to be jonseing for that back-in-the-day shit; wouldn't a Gish-biting record make you feel better than whatever Lily Allen song we'll forget about tomorrow?

I'll be sure to start looking over my shoulder in public.

I must say I expected you guys to rip me (and the list) much harder than this. I'm a bit disappointed.

My list was: (1.)The Fiery Furnaces, (2.) The Wrens, (3.) The Mountain Goats, (4. - 10.)n/a

joanna newsom, ghostface, beach house, tapes 'n tapes, sufjan, midlake, clipse, grizzly bear, peter & the wolf, TVOTR.
