Even baby boomer Leftsetz didn't like the Elton John and Leon Russell. That must have been owner Jan Wenner's choice.
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 16:12 (thirteen years ago) link
That's the worst list so far.
Listening through the Fact list and while they can be spot on at times they do like shome shonk as well. That Fantastic Mr Fox tune sound like something someone found down the back of an MP3 blog in 2006.

Yeah that's great, although if they don't rep for Warrior One & Lady Chann's King Riddim then they are spectacularly failing their people.

Didn't really like that one but I'm blaming the producer. She works so much better over house/funky/dancehall crossover than lairy blokestep.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 16:28 (thirteen years ago) link
"the one" isn't that lairy. i think it's just a lot tighter as a song. my favourite 2010 lady chann thing is prob her "hold yuh" vocal though, "feel calm".
her next single "treble to your bass" is kind of toddla t-style banging - there'll be a marcus nasty remix too...
― lex lex lex lex lex on the track BOW (lex pretend), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 16:30 (thirteen years ago) link
It might be that I'm not interested in tight songs from her, particularly, I just want her to ferociously let rip. That Gyptian track showcases a soft side I didn't know she could pull off though, good stuff. Looking forward to the single you mention as well.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 16:34 (thirteen years ago) link
the crazy high ranking overall for The National is sheer over-compensation for their previosu 2 albums' placings it's like the Lord Of The Rings films at the Oscars.

That said, don't see how the RS list is worse than any other ones on this thread.

ok second best.
But people's dainty sensitivities can cope with Kid Rock destroying all of black culture and history by being placed above Big Boi?
And Black Keys are a bad choice for a rock magazine to make, though not as bad as Elton John, John Mellencamp, The Roots, Maximum Balloon etc etc.
― Carl Jung Jeezy (Doran), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 16:49 (thirteen years ago) link
actually The Roots p otm for a rock magazine to make? it has fucking joanna newsom, the dirty projectors and a band of 'real' instruments on it.

this makes NO sense, they are just about a perfect choice for the "rolling stone demographic" as much as, say, liars/swans are solid choices for the "quietus demographic" -- feeling like you are just out to disagree w/ me ;_;

kid rock's not a "rapper" anymore, he's gone "country," didn't ya know?
Re: The Roots. I meant more that it's a terrible fucking record as is Black Keys - especially if it's being chosen because of a demographic. The same percentage of our readers hate Salem as people here do. What's the point of chosing a list by second guessing what your readers like?

Sorry, but that Roots record is by no means "terrible".

All the indie-baiting songs that got the record buzz are pretty terrible, but the rest of the record is really good.

Roots is the nuts. Ok maybe the second worst Roots records but its like picking yr favourite child when all ten of them are AWESOME (plus the tipping point child.)

Not to drag out another hoary old trope, but I often wonder how many people that hate the Roots really just hate the cult surrounding them. I mean, hate on some of the cring-worthy lyrics all you want, but these guys are astonishing musicians when they want to be.
― one pretty obvious guy in the obvious (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 17:21 (thirteen years ago) link
From what I can see 2010 has had no more unjustly overlooked record so far than Nina Nastasia's sublime 'Outlaster', which hasn't appeared anywhere at all yet.
