This week we revealed the year’s top metal albums (according to us) and the top tracks, videos, new acts, and crushes (according to you). We reviewed Big Boi, ranked MF Doom’s discography, remembered Ravi Shankar, listed the Pretenders‘ ten best songs, and watched the surviving members of Nirvana jam with Paul McCartney. We also questioned how indie musicians can break even and you dutifully supplied some answers. After the jump, this week’s ten highest ranking comments, five lowest ranking comments, and our editors’ choices.

It’s like asking “who voted for Bush?” to a room full of people, he won yet no hands go up. It’s been a long time since a song has made me want to slam an oven door shut on my balls |

What’s with his face? It’s pink! The ‘cover’ (wow, it’s so short, I bet we all could have better lives even if you udidn’t post it) pretty cringeworthy. Stick to your generic Def Jam smooth contemporary R&B beats. Have you even been in England, at night, did you se its depressing sights? This guy is gonna do everything for publicity now as hype for Channel Orange is beginnign to fade… Next stop: Grammys. Next stop: sophomore slump. Next stump: going to absence. Next stop: people realizing what an overrated bollocks of album that was. |

paul’s story reminds me of this one time when scottie pippen called me up and was like, “hey cornell, you wanna play some ball?” and i was like, “sure, i’m down.” then some other guy with all these piercings and crazy tattoos showed up, and he was pulling down boards left and right. and they kept saying, “we haven’t done this for years.” and i was like, “done what?” then, it finally hit me: i was in the middle of a 2nd 3-peat bulls reunion. and i was jordan! crazy, i tell you. |

When is Brandon Flowers gonna learn? You find yourself at odds with Eric Roberts over a girl just give up and move on. You’re gonna lose. |

…in needle.
I laughed my ass off at your down syndrome comment.
Ben Cornell’s editor’s choice comment is the greatest thing.
glad you liked it! never did i expect such a thing to happen to me. but sometimes life gives you lemons…
I’d fuckin’ love some free lemons.
At risk of down votes (and since the albums list for Gummy users is nowhere to be found)….here is my list…
http://samlovesmusic.wordpress.com/2012/12/14/lists-the-top-25-albums-of-2012/
Although your list doesn’t match up with my tastes, I’m still upvoting because last week when I posted mine after a lot of whiskey, people were nice to me and upvoted it. Also cool to see tallest man get some well-deserved love.
Phew, at least someone else likes Tallest Man on Earth. He has been incredibly overlooked this year.
Tallest Man has been SO overlooked. And he’s still going so strong. He also attracts the most polite crowd I’ve ever seen at a show. Wudda guy.
Yeah, I saw him back in August, one of the best shows I’ve been to.
Albums list coming next week
Big K.R.I.T. ! Yeah feels so long ago when I was playing 4Eva N A Day on repeat. So great.
Loved your line on Killer Mike, “Also bringing back the South…”
Good list! Glad you’re a Spiritualized convert now.
Got my top tracks up all, lemme know whatcha think

Big props to you, man. Our top pick is the same.
thank you Caroline, for being attractive enough to get me in the top comments…. all credit goes to you and your maker
Much appreciated! Love for Frank Ocean truly has no boundaries here, that’s something I got.
You killed it this week man, congrats!
Getting started on next week’s most downvoted comment: Ke$ha’s Warrior is pretty effing good.
I just got out of the car with my tumblr-whore fashion-hipster best friend who will plead to me nonstop that Warrior is the best album of the year. I played her some TV on the Radio back in them Dear Science days and she was like “ugh you know I hate middle of the road indie rock”, so it’s like, who even the fuck are you, you know? And she’s also super into Mother Mother. Do you know anyone that likes Mother Mother? I mean Ghosting is pretty alright but talk about some “middle of the road indie rock”, shit.
In conclusion, America needs tighter gun control.
global warming, n shit
Mother Mother?
The Tracy Bonham song?
This Canadian rock group that infuses shiny-sun pop romp with folk and a little throw-up. They also suck.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH> BUmPIN SoME GuCCI MAnERIGHT TNOW
F&ck that. What te f#ck am I doing with my life? Switchin it up to some Jaylib.
In all seriousness right now though, condolences and shout out to all affected by the CT shooting.
Thank you for representing The Dekle this week
WHAT’S BROWN AND RHYMES WITH SNOOP?
DR DRE
Forgot About Dre is a legendary song still. Yeah, it’s mainstream and kinda ‘lame’ now to like it, I don’t care. This and Gravel Pit are the best hip hop songs from 2000.
oh wait, i thought you said “the 2000s”… my bad.
but even so, pretty much anything off of deltron 3030 or supreme clientele is better than gravel pit. which, by the way, was released in ’01.
forgot about dre’s a jam though.

13. Dark Times – S/T EP
14. Eagulls / Mazes – split EP
15. Frederick Seidel – Poems: 1959-2009
This guy is really into EPs right now! Well, Ross Farrar doesn*t seem to have a long attention span…
It was determined that the quality of their music was not poor, nor did it suggest otherwise.
the morissey pic, the pointless commenting so far down comment, caroline polachek, and of course the reunited bulls comment. what a week! its been a pleaure ladies and gentleman, you may rest peacefully this weekend.
but before I go…EXPRESS YOURSELF WAS ONE OF THE BEST DAMN VIDEOS OF THE YEAR
Lordy, that’s like the Merriweather Post Pavilion of ass.
For some reason this gif is really scary
Thanks for this.
Ben Cornell was robbed, that 90s Bulls comparison is some funny shit!
Hey, does anyone know if Bruno Mars has a new album out?
OH, SNIZZAP…THANKS, STEREOGUM AD BUYERS!
shout out to masturd splinturd 4 ever / 4 always
sorry about the comment last week. it was cuntish and completely unnecessary. just.. rough times now.. sorry
no hard feelings paster. i know that rats smoking poop isn’t for everyone. I got a lil heated about it ma’self. it’s all water down the drain.
laughed my ass off at the master splinturd thing.
Hey Donny. Didn’t see you there.
I called the RSPCA today and said, “I’ve just found a suitcase in the woods containing a fox and four cubs.”
“That’s terrible,” she replied. “Are they moving?”
“I’m not sure, to be honest,” I said, “But that would explain the suitcase.”
I’m kind of proud that the first time I got a top rated comment, it’s because I made a sex joke. Awesome!
