How Chuck Eddy made his list---
This year I’d say my main sources were “Apres Ski” and “Ballerman” compilations of songs young Germans evidently trinken bier to on vacation (responsible for five of the top 20 below and one more of the 15 also-rans), lists Dave Cooper Moore and Frank Kogan periodically emailed out to a small group I’m part of and/or blog-posted, stray and fleeting mentions by facebook friends, maybe weekly song reviews in The New York Times “Playlist” feature, and new-release spreadsheets I get paid to peruse every Wednesday for Napster/Rhapsody.

no When Saints Go Machine or Coco O?

I thought both were disappointments. Coco O should probably have been on there anyway, but When Saints Go Machine made no impact at all.

I don't think this list of international and jazz and more selected by contributors to the Attic mag has been posted

I really liked Vice/Noisey's choices over the last 3-4 years, and especially their '10s decade lists. They seem to be taking a break from Noisey content at the moment so I guess no lists from them this time :(

Last year I think they were the only ones who included the Gulch and Narrow Head records, and their rap choices felt like they were repping stuff that people actually listened to.

i liked the vice/noisey lists because they counted down 100, which means more room for interesting picks
