Because it's so hard to find news about Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry and Gaga on the rest of the Internet? I'm confused why Stereogum is doing this. And I'm not thrilled that "Best Comments of the Week" will be full of Beliebers defending their prince. Eh, whatever. There's really no such thing as selling out anymore.
That "Get Lucky" song was cute for a couple of days. I don't understand how/why everyone loves it so much. ("Instant Crush" was 1000 times better, but it gets no love.) Just more evidence toward my theory that 2013 was a weak year for music. This whole list is proof.
Wow, one thing we can all agree on after looking at this list: 2013 was a horrible year for music. Very disappointing. I hope 2014 has something better in store for us all.
The pop-up ads on each album cover here is one of the worst things I've ever seen on the internet, rivaling the youtube ads. Congrats, whoever came up with that nonsense.
Great list! I always loved Corduroy, glad to see it get some attention here. "Given to Fly" is my favorite Pearl Jam song so naturally I'd put that at #1. Still, I can't nit-pick this list.
Yeah, this is a disappointing album, and these live versions don't help. I loved their first 2 albums so much. I guess they needed to be more poppy to appeal to the masses.
Good list. I haven't listened to Metallica lately, the black album kind of turned me off to their music, or maybe I just outgrew it. So I'm no expert, but that top 4 seems spot-on to me.
How freaking weird is that Jools Holland character, and the way he roams across the stage to introduce the band? Totally unnatural and uncomfortable. Is he popular in another country? Douche-chills.
The Day I Tried to Live is #1? I can't agree with that. I'm not sure I'd put it on my top 10 at all. But at least you left off Black Hole Sun. I was worried that would show up. Rusty Cage should be on here.
Get Lucky is a new song? I swear I thought that was an old disco song from the 70s. Weird. I vote for the Cayucas song or Diane Young, although they've both been around a few months already. How about Defriended from Beck? I can't think of any good songs, I'm just trying to avoid work.
This list is iffy. Not horrible, but I would probably pick at least 7 different ones. My favorite is "Driving your Girlfriend Home." I also like "Spring-heeled Jim" and "Boxers" a lot. "Disappointed" and "Dial-a-Cliche" are great. None of these are on the list here.
