^I agree cresty. It wasn't too bad this year, the list.

Haha. It's not that great. I think it's just cause Ariel Pink has been SUPER LO FI (I find it hard to listen to his older stuff because it's such bad quality) up until now where he records a professional studio album...But yeah, I don't really understand the hype. Still pretty excited to see him liiiiive though :P

P4K and FL now added so no more lists.

 

the biggest surprise for me is that High Violet has featured on less than half of these lists. and i cant remember the last time a commercially successful, chart topping "pop artist" has done as well as Kanye has on these lists.

 

and LOL @ all the lists with Mumford on them.
