Ah, well.

A quick analysis: Kudos to Uncut for placing LCD and PJ way up there; both will easily make my top 5 of the year. Glad to see Grinderman on there, too; it'll likely be top 10 worthy for me. Caribou should have made the albums list, not the singles list, as the album's fantastic and one of my top 10 finishers. And I'm still not sure why Sky Blue Sky and Volta are making these lists; each is probably the worst album released by Wilco and Bjork, respectively, in their otherwise excellent careers.

If so, I can agree with that. It's pretty weak. If you're saying that about 'Killing The Blues' or 'Please Read The Letter' I might have an issue. Both are great songs. Especially love the lyrics to 'Killing The Blues.'

I don't know what it is about it but it doesn't do it for me. I like Plant and I like krauss, together not so much.

Best record of the year. And the only decent records in your top 10 are radiohead and plant/krauss. Icky Thump was good for 1 go 'round and arctic monkey's are about 1000 years old and STILL over-hyped.

Maybe it's the fact that the first time I heard it I was in an Old Navy store but... Actually, I don't really have a point here. I guess I am just upset about the fact that I haven't been able to trust anything that Old Navy has tried to sell me since all my cargo pants and polar fleeces went out of style.

it was released in the UK in 2007, i think.

I have to say, these are some pretty good lists, esp. the singles.

Did everyone else get a different album than the one I heard? Because that one wasn't very good.

Also, with all the talk about certain artists cruising through on past accomplishments, what's with that shitty Bjork album placing so well on all these lists?

Personally, I think "Boxer" should be higher. Whenerver I listen to "Sound of Silver" I only end up wanting to hear "North American Scum", "Someone Great" and "All of My Friends" I don't even think I keep the rest of the album on my ipod.
