who's the biggest "oh hey i guess they put out an album this year" artist on the list -- for me it was The Decemberists
I think Ryan Adams for me.

I actually have no idea how the band pronounces its name. (In fact, ILXor Jenny and I were just wondering about this the other day.)
<em>They hardly ever filed actual ballots, but we used to be allowed to just pull their votes straight from the Times year-end page, and give the albums 10 points each. Maybe Maura isn't aware of that though.</em>
I was not aware of this! Thanks for the heads-up.

doesn't EVERYONE emphasize the second syllable of "formidable"? i've never heard the word pronounced any other way.

How does this have any bearing on how the band name is pronounced?

the French are socialists, therefore immune to the charms of P&J.

ok morbz now explain why you spelled "sure" as "shore," is that another delightful linguistic puzzle as rewarding as "forMIDable"?

Of your picks this year, I have Cauldron, Blood Ceremony and Vektor as metal. Sound right?
Well, I'd say you missed two (see above), but I'm not gonna quibble about it.

The only thing I didn't get about Dr. M's original post was why an album at #58 and a single at #33 was proof that "u ppl shore like" the JF.

Oh, I see. Yeah, I'd call Nazareth and Gentlemen's Pistols hard rock, not metal. My basic rule is that a band has to either be in EM, or their Wikipedia page has to describe them as metal in the first sentence.

gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised at Raphael Saadiq's Stone Rollin''s placing (#39 with 33 votes), I figured it would get nowhere near the (inferior) The Way I See It (#18 with 45 votes in 2008) but it had a pretty respectable showing.

Much of pop music—with a few exceptions, and God bless Lady Gaga—had a bread and circuses flavor this year, especially as experienced online. As long as we're arguing amongst ourselves about Lana Del Rey or Tyler, the Creator, we're not discussing unemployment, #OWS, or the simple fact that the majority of GOP presidential candidates are certifiably batshit crazy.
Jim TestaWeehawken, New Jersey
Amazed anyone still seriously uses "bread and circuses" about pop music. Most of the people (ILX mainly) I discussed OWS with were the same people I discussed Tyler and LDR with. Amazing how the human brain can accommodate more than one topic.

i don't really get the passion some people have for year-end reissues lists -- like i think it's great that reissues are consumed and written about but imo it doesn't lend itself to year-end listmaking like new releases.
