Cloud Nothings isn't on the list.

either is of monsters and men

[James Ford]

ok, I'll add them:


If Cloud Nothings are you favorite, your head is in the clouds, because you like a band that means nothing to everyone else.

If Of Monsters and Men are your favorite, you tend to get very excited by the latest flavor Starbucks adds to their frappe menu.

I can put it on the best of 2012 because I like it.  How hard is that for you to understand?  Wait a second if I think Neil Young has put out 30 years of shitty music I am wrong for insulting people's opinions on here.  But you actually hating everything that has been put out in the last 25 years is Ok?

you are trolling when you go around insulting every band I like.  You don't like them who gives a shit?  Guess what I am entittled to my opinion.  As it is my own opinion.  Not an opinion I got from listening to the music and enjoying it.  I really like the Alt-j album.  If you dont' like it more power to you.  But I haven't insulted anyone's listings and it is easy for you because you haven't came up with a list for 2012. 

Lists like these are useful in that if you like some of the bands you have heard on someone's list you might check out ones you don't know.  It isn't meant to be a place for putting down other people's music.  Just like in the other thread instead of listing bands that you think put out 5 great albums you had to attack me.  Get a life.  If all you are doing is posting about bands you like  that every knew about 25 years ago you really aren't providing useful information.
