Didn't Bush jr release one of these that was pretty great? I remember all the acts on it scrambling to distance themselves from it.

Voted Aretha but it's a good list, if obama gave me this as a cassette coldplay is the only one i would fast forward

Coldplay, and that Coldplay in particular, seems really erroneous.

i guess Okkervil is surprising because people have never heard of Low Cut Connie?
respectable winner, but absent Thank U, my vote would go to Dylan, Jaggah, or Wolf

what are the chances that a staffer helped him with these lists?
― calstars, Monday, 7 September 2015 01:57 (eight years ago) link
I mean does he really have the time to peruse newish music enough to come up with this?
― calstars, Monday, 7 September 2015 01:58 (eight years ago) link
I wonder how he discovers new music. Maybe he has some buddies on the Hill that turn him on to stuff
