Making no judgements. Just passing this along......

i still haven't heard that interpol

anybody got an up of it?

Arcade Fire at no. 1 is abomination. Vampire Weekend as the highest-placing metal album is the tits. Glad to see Hot Chip doing well.

& Joanna Newsome is criminally underrated.

Rough Trade had their list out weeks ago.

I've got 4 albums on that Q list, one of which I don't think should be on an end of year list and another of which I've never actually listened to despite having bought a hard copy of it.

Twilightkid · **Posted:** Tue Nov 30, 2010 1:43 pm

I've heard four of them!

Black Keys will be in my Top 10.

just went through my list....I have 31 records to rate for my top 20 of 2010.

hey look · **Posted:** Tue Nov 30, 2010 1:44 pm

here are the ones i like in some degree

49. Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
41. Belle And Sebastian - Write About Love
38. Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid
36. The Roots - How I Got Over
28. Avi Buffalo - Avi Buffalo
27. Midlake - The Courage Of Others
19. Grinderman - Grinderman 2
17. John Legend & The Roots - Wake Up!
13. Beach House - Teen Dream
12. Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here
11. The Black Keys - Brothers
8. The National - High Violet
5. Vampire Weekend - Contra
2. Robert Plant - Band Of Joy
1. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

ones that will probably be in my top 20: most likely only Beach House and Janelle and maybe Black Keys

Kingfish · **Posted:** Tue Nov 30, 2010 2:18 pm

I've been wanting to listen to that John Grant album but never got around to seeking it out. The only album in the top 20 I like is the Black Keys. That MGMT album is a huge gigantic turd. And I loved the first record.

Weird...that's not by any means an obscure list but I haven't heard a single thing on it.

south pacific · **Posted:** Tue Nov 30, 2010 4:18 pm

that new Interpol is a huge, gigantic turd

Dalen · **Posted:** Tue Nov 30, 2010 4:25 pm

While there are quite a few excellent records in there, Q seem to enjoy some very mediocre releases this year.

I read an interview with the guys in Interpol, and they claim it takes about 10 complete listens to let the hooks completely sink in. I got to about the 3rd or so listen and decided I didn't want the hooks to sink in.

Kingfish · **Posted:** Tue Nov 30, 2010 7:40 pm

I'm sorta shocked The Coral are still making records.

that john grant is very good, but having kings of leon and that B&S release on a top 50 is criminal

I never realized how many artists I don't like released albums I don't want.

Sketch · **Posted:** Wed Dec 01, 2010 9:19 am

I like the John Grant record a lot... just can't find it in a local store. Will probably share four of the same top eleven (Arcade Fire, Marling, National, Black Keys)
