I guess, but man, if only all the Blitzen Trapper types voted for Nachtmystium, Fucked Up, and Chinese Democracy as their top three.

Not that the Guns 'N Roses album is any good at all, but still.

Black Swede, fantastic list.

20 wild sweet orange- We Have Cause to Be Uneasy

You know, I just saw these guys like a week or two ago at the recommendation of a coworker. They were pretty good. I checked out this disc shortly thereafter it's nice. Big fan of 'Ten Dead Dogs.'

"house of regret" is a fantastic song..kind of like bright eyes with balls

This list makes absolutely no sense to me.

this list essentially reflects how many times i spun a record during the last year...
i obviously have a bit of ADD when it comes to music and go on waves throughout the year.
i believe its mostly seasonal, and remember spending more time on indie rock in the spring/summer.

anyway, it is what it is...a bunch of records i really liked listening to this year...

[vurt]

No, but I'm reading about it right now and it appears to have been released on Rune Grammofon, so I'm pretty much sold.

It's the closest thing I've heard to Imperial Distortion, so thought it might go over well. I'm totally clueless when it comes to this type of DIFFICULT music, but I know what I like.

17. Ricardo Villalobos - Vasco

11. Ricardo Villalobos - Vasco

Yeah. This was pretty great.

[Pavement Ist Rad]

[swede]

7. Grouper - Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill

"haunting"
"lush"

It's great.

wtf?!?! is it actually good?

It's very good.

but isnt it really just not as tragic a train wreck as you expected, thereby making it seem alot better then it infact is?

Not at all. In fact, just the opposite is true. The hype was so big, so large that it could never possibly meet expectations. Strangely, it did for many people.

This is a good list. I'm glad to see other people putting The Dodos on their list. I expected this to be fairly low on most lists and I expected Fools to be high up for singles. I guess I was wrong. Good list though, man. I have been listening to that Elbow album quite often (I didn't check it out until a week or so ago).

Two #1's and a #12. That's not bad for an indie board that praises Vampire Weekend. Progress baby, progress.
