End of Year Lists

How many of the pitchfork list does pollard have? I bet its 30/50.

How these stupid rags can leave off the Pernice Brothers and the Drive By Truckers is beyond me.

I wonder if we have exactly the same 5?

almost...well actually maybe I have 6 then - I know I have the Postal Service hidden underneath some paper on my desk but I haven't listened to it - Radiohead was my fifth....and no, I didn't think it was that great but at least it was an improvement over the other two pieces of crap they've released since OK Computer

19, but that number is skewed, because early in the year I decided to take a chance on some albums they were raving about and they were not very good.
