Kanye West - 808s and Heartbreak Could have given the top slot to any of my top three, but couldn't come up with an indisputable winner, so I went with the one that had the most time to linger and solidify its status as a favorite. Also, they broke up recently, so R.I.P. good sirs.

Paul, is it okay if I post my list tonight after midnight (eastern)? I have to leave for work soon and that's when I get back.

And it'll be an awesome list with comments and shits. yeah.



Yes. Just to remind everyone, even though today is the last day to vote, I'm not officially closing the polls until I get up tomorrow morning, which most likely will be around 10 am Chicago time, but if you're really straggling maybe you'll get lucky and I'll hit snooze a bunch of times.

2. Make Model - Products Of Kin


I would have had this in my top 10 probably. Unfortunately it never got released and maybe never will. :(


I didn't know it was never released. I picked it up when you recommended it back in late spring. Obviously one of my favorite of the year. It needs to be released.

It looks like the rest of the band, minus Lewis are demoing some hopefully incredible male-female chaos pop so that's good news!
Nice bowl of Crunchy Nut you got here, pretty expensive as I recall.

Not going to happen.

Tio Bitar barely made the 100 last year, and this one had even less exposure.

Damo Suzuki: So, um, yeah. Getting older isn't as bad as it sounds. Better than being young & poor (DjDrake) or young & slutty (SG) or young, poor and slutty (Paves); am I right?

Alright, my friends. It's time for another solid little rock jam

I've seen 5 relatively high placements, and that's w/o searching (4 of them were on one page). edit: what I mean to say is, I'm cautiously optimistic about it's possible ranking.

That's real a shame, too, because all Dungen has done since the trendy Ta Det Lugnt is become an even better band with each subsequent release. 4 is #11 on my list.

This is very true. 4 is one of those albums I found myself listening to three or four times through without getting sick of it for a moment.

Good stuff.
