just listened to that again and now I know I'm going to end up saying "this rap money's OK" like five or six times at work tomorrow

i've heard Forever so many times i can sort of accept it at this point, but i still hate Chris Brown and pretty much every song he's ever done. i give him amazing props for writing Disturbia and having the sense to give it to Rihanna and not ruin it himself, and i love Get Like Me and his verse on there for all the reasons Raj said. he just pops in, delivers some goofy shit and pops out.

[Chronodiggity]

Get Like Me isn't going to place, is it? "stuntin' is a habit, just gotta have it" is the best part of Get Like Me

We voted for this stupid Black Kids song last year.

Then again, I think I was one of the voters for that EP so...

[Pavement Ist Rad]

Regrets, Cool Blue And Lil' Oaty has a few.

[Chronodiggity]

i feel like i might have voted for the EP too. one of their songs sounds exactly like a song my friend's band did except The Black Kids are worse.

[Slackmo]

Can't believe I forgot "Get Like Me."

I asked Paul about this. I guess we voted for the EP last year. Ironically, I didn't vote for the EP last year, but had "I'm Not Gonna Teach..." in my top ten. Catchy song, and I prefer the LP version to the EP version.

[Duff.]

Would've voted Forever higher if not for the reasons Raj lists.

Miley Cyrus > Black Kids

yes

There's a high bar.

Not Gonna Teach You is about all I can get into by Black Kids, and yeah, what the fuck, it placed last year.

Of course I'm happy to see this. Main reason I listen to In Rainbows

the sample is really the only important thing about SLU. If the lyrics were better, that probably would've been nice, but who cares really.

So true. What a really wasted opportunity. Should have been one of the all time greatest collabs considering the talent on board. LL Cool J's "1, 2, 3, 4" kills this. Even the version with Master P.

I'm very thrilled with "Forever" showing up as well.

New recording this year and the EP last year wasn't the "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend... - EP."

[Mitchell]

Shitty re-recordings this year of everything on that EP. Stellastarr* stuff today, loving the list thus.

[Mike Schank]

Thanks Paul, surprised the list is posted so soon, great job. Not surprised the list has sucked so far. And will continue to.

[Soundscape]

not surprising, but it's kind of funny that the "Mercy" I voted for, is not the one on these lists.

what I don't get is why there isn't more EP's in people's votes. I can claim to have heard 30 or more EPs this year, and in most cases EP > Single.

With the way things are,..a lot of new bands release digital EPs..it's a good way to get their music out there, and not just 1 or 2 songs.

I think most people just think in terms of songs.

Maybe in 2009 a third poll for EP's?

I would go for this. It's not that simple to weigh a single really good song, vs an EP that has 1 or 2 good songs, and some filler.

[Mitchell]

Really good song probably has b-sides anyway. Look at the stupid way Rough Trade released "No Lucifer" as an EP. Could have been my #1 if they'd not been so daft.

[Northern Voice]

I'm dreading about 4 more Radiohead singles and just as many Weezer singles.

P4K loved that EP too, despite their later negative review of the full-length. In defense of the people who voted for that Black Kids EP last year (and I was one of them), the EP just felt like 15 minutes of charming, innocuous pop singles. Had it come out earlier in the year, I'm sure it would have worn off its charm by the time we got the EOY lists but it came out around September/October or so. Dealing with this band over the course of an entire 40-minute album - that was a different story, even though the album is nowhere near as bad as people made it out to be. They're just an easy target and a band that's not very good that got a bucket full of hype way too early.

You are awesome, in that you are always wrong.

House of Cards has a terrific opening. Much like Reckoner and Nude, House of Cards starts off with a terrific line that everyone learns to love.

the sample is really the only important thing about SLU. If the lyrics were better, that probably would've been nice, but who cares really.

I liked Jay-Z's verse on S.L.U. but that was about it. Lil' Wayne and Kanye using the vocoder have never appealed to me and T.I.'s verse is super weak. Sick beat though.

I'm dreading about 4 more Radiohead singles and just as many Weezer singles.

I hope Reckoner places really high. Then what else? Nude, most likely and Weird Fishes?

And yes, I think Weezer will be on here many times.

[killerparties]

I predict 2 weezer singles in the top ten, at least.
