Hmmm. I would have shuffled that list a little bit myself, but that's decent.

Anyone else think Vampire Weekend is overrated?

I do

Katy Perry?

Guess which magazine is in with a bullet at No. 1 in my "Top 33 Fuckwit Publications of 2008"?

;D ;D

I believe this is the same crap magazine that named Madonna's 'Immaculate Collection' as the 'Greatest American Album of All Time'.

Uh-huh.

& no Elbow?! That list ain't worth shit!

[purvis9876]

Blender Magazine is a disgrace to music journalism. I think it was in September's issue where they said that "Pink Floyd is just LSD slap-stick". Oh, and VW blows.

[bearass]

Oh, and VW blows.

indeed

[mjkoehler]

Wow, I agreed with Blender on a whole 2 albums. WTF? I'm with DB, no Elbow, no Black Mountain, no Black Keys, no Hold Steady, Spiritulized, Portishead, Felice Bros, James so on and so on. This list is shit.

[BH]

Oooo, I forgot about Black Mountain.   I always want to rank my favorites but sometimes I feel like "my favorites" = "the stuff I bought".   I would love to be able to go thru the entire list and then give my opinion, but I haven't even heard half of that yet.  I'm just glad I have all of you guys to give me a nice basis to choose from.  For example, I now have Elbow, TVOTR, and  Sigur Ros at the top of my list of things to buy.

[logan5ive]

Lots o' crap on that list.

[tomEisenbraun]

Am I the only one in here who got a hold of the Vampire Weekend cd and loved it to the point where it stayed in my CD player for about a week straight?

M79 is pure bliss, in my feeble opinion.

[dragonboy]

Very cool! Let me know what you think of Elbow & Sigur Ros (I like TVOTR but don't love them like a lot of people here)

Nope, I dig vw.

[big hungry joe]

jesus, randy fucking newman got an album on there, but david byrne and brian eno didn't. blender is such a joke.

[TEO]

My oldest stepdaughter (38) took the time to send this info. in a text the other day. Everybody knows how tight I am wrapped up here... ;)

[The DARK]

I also enjoyed Vampire Weekend. And there are far bigger problems with that list than that at #9...

[StayClassy]

With everything taken into consideration, I find it kind of disgraceful MMJ is even on this list at all.

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

Hmmm. I would have shuffled that list a little bit myself, but that's decent.

Anyone else think Vampire Weekend is overrated?

nope...i think their album is timeless!  it's not out of this world, but it sure is a pure joy to listen to!

[the sun and moon]

This list is ugly.
