really enjoying the fever ray album since dismissing it when it first came out

again no eskimo snow. did it really not come out this year?

i need to listen to major lazer

why do we need top charts?

The first ranked album was so unexpected.

What a garbage top 10.

Flaming Lips, lol. That is emabarrassing. Only heard a couple of tracks by Animal Collective and they were the worst ever. Real indie-kid/hipster/beard/thick rimmed glasses trash. Grizzly Bear are lightweight as hell. Bat for lashes are for girls/Rubin Farr.

Not heard any of the others but i would imagine Raekwon to be the best.

But i have to conclude, if that is the top 10, it confirms that 2009 has not been a good year for music.

Yeah, the Fever Ray album is superb.

I'm surprised Grizzly Bear's album didn't make it to at least #2 on this chart. I have to disagree with the Dr. on Merriweather Post Pavilion - that album feels really good, and no visions of hipster beards ever occur while enjoying it. That's an album you definitely have to listen to from top to bottom to enjoy it to the fullest, as a song or sample here and there doesn't really do it justice. (Who cares who else likes it anyway?)

the most predictable list ever, i knew major lazer, fever ray, animal collective, flaming lips, dinosaur jr, grizzly bear jim o' rourke and something hyperdub was going to be on there before even clicking on it

the visitor is one of the best albums of the year though.

haven't heard most of these but dirty projectors are fucking garbage. animal collective piss me off more each day. i guess they're becoming the new radiohead.

i liked the visitor too, i'm just pointing out how PWEI-esque pitchfork is at the moment

Who are these dirty projector lads and how dirty are they?
