Only one with with my three favourites on it Bon Iver, Jay Z & Kanye West and Arctic Monkeys. The rest is shit but all the lists are like that. Pitchfork is too pretentious, NME probably had their mind up before the albums came out, Rolling Stone is too conservative and who really cares about Spin? I stand by my decision.

I respect your choice, and it's to ones own opinion, but once you get past the top 10, Q probably had the most embarrassing list of the year...

I'm also starting to notice that I don't like BEA's top 10 either Think , and I'm still very confused on how high The King Of Limbs, Suck It And See, Wasting Light & Helplessness Blues are. Not saying that they're bad (which 3/4 of them are....), but no one's really been supporting those albums.

Also confused on how low M83 & Matana Roberts are Neutral , Because a lot of people are supporting those...

W/e.
