i love year / decade end lists! it gauges popular consensus regardless of their musical preference. so far with this and PF, Funeral and WBC seems to be perennial favorites and I would slightly agree. Although, Kia A makes a more noteworthy album of the decade than WBC.

PF hearts Animal Collective and Uncut digs anything Jack White spews out. I wish these lists wouldn’t show much biased tendencies to their fetishes.

I have yet to see a list with TVOTR on the top 20. Am i the only one who thinks they’re worthy? maybe Spin Magazine would agree. Hell, they earned album of the year awards for both Cookie Mountain and Science!

I’m a Filipino, living in the Philippines, and i rely on sites such as PF and SG for new music out of the confines of pop and modern rock as heard here. When PF came up with this list, I was looking for some great finds from this decade that I might have missed, and that after hearing majority of the albums on this list, I can’t help but disagree with some of their top 20 selections.

Personally, I’d have put Interpol higher, TVOTR’s Cookie Mountain and Vampire Weekend on the top 20 and have AC and PB a little bit lower. I did also notice that PF has like some sort of fetish for AC, so that I just passively ignore since I know more albums deserve better.

What’s with all the Kanye hatin’? Yeah, he fucked up, but let’s stick to the music people.

Anybody ever heard of the band Urbandub here in the Phils.? I think they’re the only noteworthy Filipino act that could make an impact internationally, albeit too modern rock-ey though for all the hipsters and critics out there.

By the way, I can’t seem to get what’s all the hubbub for noise rock acts like No Age and Abe Vigoda. I’m not sure if they’re trying to revisit shoegaze days, but MBV’s music is much more tolerable than that.
