NME = numptys, mummys boys & emo's

I've heard of 5 of these bands.

if you're on the site, you actually have to click 75 times to see the top 75

fuck that shit

to be fair, i loved Teen Dream and King Night but the rest is ridiiiiic.

and Surfer Blood – 'Swim' was actually released in 2009.

just sayin' nigga.

Im confused. What were you actually expecting from NME? Bleeps top 10 was pretty predictable.

Bleeps top10 is pretty fair imo.

NME is trash

Clearly not enough beep boop music.

Its NME, and nobody ever agrees with top ten lists, something about them being 'subjective', or something, whatever

Gonna be totally honest, Hidden deserves best album of the year, I've heard nothing else like it. Foals' second album below the disappointment of what was the last LCD one though? WTF?

wasn't trying to say we should be shocked by this.

just thought it was an interesting look into what ppl enjoy these days.

I enjoy 5 of those albums to varying degrees. One or two will likely make it into my top 20 (but not top 10).

NME has always been biased towards a particular sort of sound. You might see them step outside that once or twice but all these albums are very much up NMEs alley.

In the same way Bleep is pretty biased towards a more electronic sound.

NME are fucking HILARIOUS for this reason alone

See if you can work out what the reviewer was up to before writing this review

also, this old classic: http://www.nme.com/reviews/artistKeyname/6602

To be fair they probably have a point with that one. Like Gantz Graf though! Gonna have to expand my anorak collection stat

Do they think Ae are German or something? I dont get it, the genre isnt saturated enough with Germans for that to be witty.

I had no idea apparat looked like this: (NSFW)

Thanks NME

I felt that Bleep's Top10 was largely a joke and nothing more than further advertisement for their site...

You gotta love when a site that sells music gives their top ten list and then conveniently has links for you to buy it from them....

feel like i'm being trolled here...

but just to clarify, that's not what i was really saying with this thread.

It's bad, but Last.fm's Top 40 of 2010 list is far worse...
