Before we finalize our ballots -- does PBJ count as 2007 or 2006?

This is a pretty immaculate list with a few surprises, but altogether very honest. I'm pleasantly surprised to see Lily Allen in the top 10. Regardless of her criticisms, I think that album was solid mostly becuase it was fun, lighthearted, and so different from anything else before her at that time. You should check out the London Live footage of her over at MOJOHD.com.

oops that didnt work. "Seeing" and "atop the year end lists" were supposed to be crossed out.

I am so tired of seeing Radiohead atop the year end lists.

I am so tired of seeing Radiohead atop the year end lists. It was a pretty good album, definitely not their best and certainly not landmark in any way -- other than the way it was released/marketed. Why do I feel like people are rating it based on the marketing scheme, not the actual MUSIC?

@extracrispy: Also, I forwarded a link to this post to my friend "Sven", who replied:

Too many commas in the post title. Truly, I Saab every time I see another example of Absolut hate for all-things-Swedish from you Ameritards.

@bcapirigi: I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- that Keren Ann record is great, especially if you were a fan of Mazzy Star back in the day...

I'm not sure what this says about ABC News or Rolling Stone, but 2 of RS's top 3 don't make this list at all. I think I might love this list.

any list that puts suzanne vega ahead of stupid kanye west is awesome in my book. also, they got three of my top 4 (including keren ann!) this might be my favorite list yet.

Wow, good to finally see Eleni Mandell in someone's top 10 (although Harp and Paste both had her in the lower reaches of their top 50 lists). Between that and the mention of my #1 album of the year (Sloan), I'm kind of scared about how much more I have in common with this list than that of most music publications.

"A cynical person might say that this list is washed whiter than a polar bear after an asshole bleaching."

I'm adding this into every conversation I can from now on.

we learn that Kristin Hersh "sounds like a female Kurt Cobain."

That is news.

I've been wondering this all year: Is Peter Bjorn and John two dudes or three? And why do Swedes hate commas?

Well at least you can this is a relatively honest list, and not wholly influenced by other critics. I mean, you'd have to be ironic or head-shakingly honest to put KT Tunstall and Idlewild in your top 25. And ABCNews isn't good at irony.

Wow. I never thought I'd see Fountains Of Wayne on any of this year's lists - or that instrumental beastie boys record!

Newsy, yeah, but the unthruthiness of their Hersh-like-Cobain bit gives a chuckle. Hersh made records long before Kurdt. Wild how his rep changes the canon more than his talent does.
