looks good to me.

arcade fire? suprise of the year that one.

Who picked Starlings, TN? I know them dudes. Well, I think Tim isn't involved anymore.

Electralene at 162 and Electrelane at 362 are the same band. The correct spelling is Electrelane - The Power Out.

Now that's what I a call a year-end list. Do you know how many people voted?

thank you for doing this shmoo.

373 and 374 are also the same album

That's a lot of freakin music.

Get busy listenin, or get busy dyin.

Noticed that too, but shit with that list, why quibble over some minor inaccuracieshare and there, right?

Nice work shmoo

sorry, can't edit my posts for some reason on this piece of shit computer at the office; must go home soon and return to the terminal.

Schmoo & KPH, I know I said it before, but that looks like a lot of work and effort-more than I thought. Thanks guys. If you come to Chicago, I'll buy you both a beer.

i just did a lot of copying and pasting and evidently not enough spell-checking. the hard part was avoiding getting shot when i had to pick up the top 20 list from the drop box in roxbury. they don't like indie rock kids there, but damn, it sure was a safe place to lockbox the results!

KPH

Blatant attempt to up post count

Can't believe I'm the only one who had that T.I. That shit's HOTT

Bring em out, Bring em out

Even though only one of the albums (Arcade Fire) in the top-20 is on my list, I like what I see. In the end, The Arcade Fire deserve every point they got.

I’m very surprised that Kanye West didn’t end up in the top-20 though.



I love the single with Swizz Beatz, but for some reason I never got around to picking the album up. You better believe that it will be in my collection soon!

So close to grabbing it at best buy yesterday!

Wow....guess I was the only one who liked The Mae Shi & Paper Chase albums. Perhaps no one else has heard of them / gave them less thought than I did...

Still, this is EPIC - many shmooian regards to the originator...

Also, it's interesting that Arcade Fire almost doubled the point total for the #2 vote getter...

Didn't Beulah - Yoko come out in 2003?

I'll burn you/aim you a copy, dude, no reason to give these dudes $.

I didn't pick them in the Top 20, but I sure do like the album.

It's always suprising to me how these lists fall out.

Some things you think would be at the top, aren't, and vice versa.

For instance.

Of Montreal - SPITA at number...41
While Morrissey at 50,
Keane at 68
Elbow at 138.

I guess music tastes are about as diverse as they can gets.

It is an awesome achievement though... love it every year....!

huge list. i am surprised the eliot smith record scored that high. other than that, certainly no rela suprises given the discussions on the cmj board and obner this year.

thanks, shmoo. looks like a real pain in the ass to me. then again, i'm the laziest motherfucker i know.

I thought MM Food would be higher...The Streets should be lower. In fact, they should just switch places. I'll say to this what I said about the CMJ List. Not many of my choices made it, but I wouldn't mind any of those albums in my rotation. Except the Streets. Ugh.
