2010 Magazine's Albums Of The Year Thread For Posting Lists and Discussion

or, you know, start your own. i'm just trying to avoid cleaning the kitchen.

xkuxk def. needs to post his lists here, or elsewhere on ilx

gonna spend the afternoon going thru fastnbulbous/matos lists, those look fabulous at a glance

Bulbs has the first list i've seen with Islaja on it, I need to go and listen to that properly.

that realniggatumblr list is the SHIT, i'm gonna put it in a rar

if the thread is opening up to individual critics posting their own lists, here are my top 50 singles:

warning: lots of cheesy pop stuff that makes whiney reflexively go "just SB'd/unfollowed you for liking that song"

also never posted this but here's the Baltimore City Paper's top 10 and local top 10 that i helped put together:

never saw j. cole compared to drake

bitch i got that flame... JOHNNY STORM

deej won't post this, but his list is very good

http://somanyshrimp.com/2010/12/20/davids-somanyshrimp-best-raps-2010/

god what a fucking dickface, I hope he's around so I we can argue about this shitty list!

(just kidding, deej's list is great!!)

loool didn't notice #7 last time

i love everything i know from that list (about 20% of it, naturally) and am really thrilled w/ all the youtube links: that's one of my favorite year-end formats, when i can quickly click over and check out the stuff i haven't yet heard

Love deej's choice for number one album. Probably my most listened to rap album from the year, but not hard when theres just so many songs.

JAG (I collated it) but the SOMB list is probably in it's most interesting stage (below 40) and is being counted down right now.

Has ridiculous stats like average age of voters for records etc http://www.soundopinions.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=23758

al's list is fun to read but i lol @ how many blurbs they are that are like "i hate this artist & everything involved w/ him, but this was p. good"

lol yeah that probably is a pattern i could stand to avoid more

i think that's how singles lists kind of should be, though, moments where you can divorce yourself from feelings about the artist and just enjoy the song

oh i dunno its interesting bcuz you center around the charts a lot more than i do, so i miss out on decent singles by often-garbage artists ... good to have someone sorting thru the crap lol

xp yeah

as far as my album's list, i forgot twista, which was very very good i thought. sorry yo gotti u are bumped

Permalink for my Top 150 LPs, in case anybody missed it:

XHUXK'S TOP 100+ ALBUMS OF 2010!

lol @ me following some dude's blog for a long time and not knowing that was him!

haha cool

a gr8 list deej

15. Sara Bareilles - “King Of Anything”

this song is good although its not a patch on 'winter song'. kinda lol that u rate this stuff tho

you center around the charts a lot more than i do, so i miss out on decent singles by often-garbage artists ... good to have someone sorting thru the crap lol

man i am so glad someone listened to the pop charts this year, sorted thru all the CRAP, and then came out on their blog at year's end to tell me HOW AMAZINGLY WORTH MY TIME "HEY SOUL SISTER" BY TRAIN REALLY IS

couldnt live without u <3

(j/k, enjoyed yr list shipley)

I'm always surprised by how secretly pleased I am when Neon Trees' "Animal" comes on the radio, and I felt the same way seeing it on al's list.

I forgot to mention, my link upthread also links to a mix of selections from the top 100, if you click on the image with the 20 albums, my cat, Krampus, the Grinch, etc. I'll also send Part 2 to anyone who wants more via PM.

"The Grinch hated lists! And the music within them!
Now, please don't ask why. How he couldn't like LCD Soundsystem..."
