Actually that's the most satisfying "list of the decade" I've read. I like the Strokes and the Arcade Fire, but this was spot on.

Some of their methodology and comparisons are off. I feel like this is more of a list pointing out the flaws of the listeners and bloggers than the actual albums.

Likening Merriweather Post Pavilion to CYHSY is a bit of a stretch imo.

Did anyone say that Neon Bible changed music? How could the album not be hyped after the incredible reception to the first record? It was mentioned about Springsteen because a)it sounded like Springsteen and b)they played with Springsteen.

"as if Winehouse's assertions against rehab or her love-gone-wrong moans were merely surface emotional filler. " its a pop record.

whoa. I JUST got done reading the hard copy of that.

Some of the article was agreeable, but I thought it was basically just full of easy targets.

I've been formulating a list like this in my head for a while, and I wouldn't have picked any of those.

In some cases they have the right artist but the wrong album, I guess.

Somehow, I feel like The Strokes are still Under Rated.

I love that Arcade Fire album and find it to be quite underrated. But if they had put AF's first album on there, I would have agreed with the list 100%.

Can you explain what claustrophobic production means to me?

too many sounds filling every space, mastered too extreme with everything loud and nothing specific to focus on.
