Why do people feel the need to constantly say "animal collective" in any way shape or form when these lists come up? Look, that album's not that good, we've all accepted that the solo albums by the respective members were better, and I clap for Wire for not putting them on this list: they'll be voted # 1 in teen sweethearts magazine, blender, spin, and all the other bullshit you idiots read, so stop going "WHOA WHEERE'S ANIMNAL COLELCLTIVE?"
Anyway, I mostly disagree with this list, but kudos to them for making a list that almost seems honest in a way. Not to mention they're the only magazine that will probably highlight the REAL best work of the year (33 Rhys Chatham - The Crimson Grail). Don't really have anything to say, except.. what's with the LCD Soundsystem thing? I mean, really? Why do people who are usually intelligent about music pretend that shit's good?
