I feel like caring that much about is stupid. If you disagree with their list then I guess you disagree with their less and that's perfectly fine. To say they conspired with other blogs and publications on this is asinine. How would you know if the editors of this site personal taste was a fionna apple album? Come on.

So why can't we comment on why all these lists seem to be lacking a uniqueness to them that they once had?
We don't know the editors personal taste, but what we do know is that the lists all seem to be the same.
It's a Pitchfork list, that's exactly what it's supposed to look like. It's 2013 people, when are you going to figure it out?
Fjordson, this is totally slaying me right now:

I didn't say they conspired, it's more like noticing a few kids in school with red sneakers, and it seems like people kinda like them, so you go out and buy red sneakers the next day. It's not collusion I'm talking about, it's trend mongering.
Yes, one of my favorite lists this year. I also like the way Dusted does it. Different writers, different tastes, different lists. http://dustedmagazine.com
Childish Gambino is terrible.

gambino is shit
Why can't it be that they both thought x album was good that particular year? I really don't get it when people think like this.
Out of this whole list there's about 5 albums on it that I really enjoyed btw.

Please don't insult merely terrible things by comparing them to Childish Gambino.
They overrated his album for giving it more than a 1.
Most of the albums on these lists appeal to the lowest common denominator; when all the writers get together, those are the only albums they can all settle on. I doubt anyone actually loves the Beach House and Grizzly Bear albums that much, but they're pleasant and remarkably inoffensive so the editors have to settle on them.
That's my guess anyways. Maybe they just don't want to piss off the masses that read their site.
There's is easily the worst list I've seen yet.

Nah, easily one of the best. It's actually a bit unique. Boomkat's is good too: http://boomkat.com/collections/boomkat-top-100-albums-2012-chart/page/3 (even though they way overrate Stott)
Too genre biased...
Seems fairly diverse.
And anyways if you try to cover every genre you only get the accessible low end stuff with predictable token choices from every genre.
I mean even with my list (that goes to my blog in case you don't like giving hits
) where I make an effort to try new things from each genre I end up often times with the most accessible things because I can't process that much. Genre focused lists are usually more capable of getting to the fresh stuff.I like trying new things.

lmao.
Man, this is great. Wow. Never even heard of this guy.
I still have much to learn when it comes to electronic music. It can be such a daunting genre.
edit: when he has the full chorus kick in at about 2:45. Hot damn.
All the Gambino hate in this thread right now
"After this I hit the highway. I'm heading west like I'm fucking blowing Kanye."
I remember you liked edits and had just heard that on a mix. This one's been slaying too(and this one).
Should check out Bicep, that 90's house revival sound was my favorite this year:
Bicep - Vision of Love EP Trailer
Waze & Odyssey - I Want You You You
Ejeca - Horizon
Krystal Klear - My Love Is Burning
HNNY - For The Very First Time
Is that an indirect Jimmy Edgar shade?
it's that okcupid/big bang syndrome.
it's one thing to dislike someone but the hate he gets is hilarious.

I think this is the worst song list the site has ever published
The fact it has two Chief Keef songs already makes it pretty damn bad.
The year in new music hasn't been great, either.

I'm the complete opposite.
I have not listened to a single album from that list and have only really heard of a handful of the artists.
Damn, I'm only 27 and I'm already an old timer...
Gonna go buy this Kendrick Lamar thing right now!! (just listened to one of the singles on Youtube and really like it).

Getting into new music is fun. I dabbed more than I usually do this year, and next year I'm going to try to delve even further. I feel constantly spoilt for choice of what to listen to. I'm constantly surprised and excited by new things I'm listening to. Go into it without an ego and have fun.
