I almost posted a "worst albums" list, but I couldn't come up with more than four that I knew I didn't like and was familiar with enough to rank.

Television Personalities was on my list for the first half of the year... then I had a moment of clarity and realized it was truly unlistenable. Like that Rabbit Fur Coat gal... and Joanna Newsome...

Yes. The Delays made me angry for about two days before I forgot them forever.

Pete, I know for a fact you picked up the Semi Finalist album so why isn't that on the list?

You'd have to be fucking nuts to prefer that over The Strokes album.

Yeah i will put up a track for each record later today.

Clockcleaner sound like a combo of Flipper/Scratch Acid with some Million Dead Cops thrown in.

TVP is a beautiful mess of an album. Incredible lyrics, very childlike & very unique. It's a painful listen and very human.

Harvey Milk is a beast, a combination of Glam Rock & Slow slow metal. Sounds like Melvins (houdini)/Speed Glue & Shinki.

Dead Man are a Swedish band. Music wise, it's a mix of heavy 70's rock and folk rock put together with psychedelic inspiration and improvisation. In other words they are a 'hippy' band. Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad. The singer has the most awesome vibrato vocals going on.

Library Tapes is a band Dalen turned me to last year. One lonely piano and some help from Colleen & guy from Deaf Center. Beautiful.

BRB.

19=The Streets
20=The Lemonheads

Despite the fact that my #1, Hot Chip, is on this list, it still has a ton of merit. I really think I hate the Hold Steady. I love old Springsteen and this band apes him so badly that I can't get beyond it. I also cannot listen to Destroyer. That record is so universally lauded and I literally cannot listen to it. As far disappointments go, I liked previous efforts by the Delays, Streets, and Snow Patrol so their forays into suckdom were surprising. Razorlight is a bad band. Cold War Kids and Sunset Rubdown are the blog bands that don't deserve the hype. I don't know if the the Chili Peppers suck, I just know that I can't listen to them. That faux-U2 record by Keane sucks beyond words. So does Muse. Everyone loves Muse. They sound like Styx to me.

I'm totally down with Belle & Sebastian, Hot Chip and Ben Kweller though. Take them off the list, Pete!

I'm glad you took it humorously, as intended. You're good people, Dan.
