Most Overblogged of 2007
This wasn't even close. (Sorry, Win.) Actually, here's a fun experiment: Take the top 10 overblogged/overhyped artists by your votes, and compare 'em to our most tagged artists for the past 365 days. You guys vote pretty literally. Except for Amy Winehouse -- it seems like everybody agrees she could just use a vacation. Impressively, the White Stripes didn't get hit too hard here. Looks like Bradford Cox's exploits wore a little thin, and hey Dan Deacon finally made a top 10! Honorable Mention: "any of those damn remix people- I hate all of them, JUSTICE and what not. And anything shoegazy." Half the Top 10 albums of the year overlap with the Top 10 overblogged -- Arcade Fire, Radiohead, M.I.A., Animal Collective, and of Montreal -- proving again that one person's gold is another's crap. And if you're equating "overblogged" with "overexposed," then oM ftw.

Okay, who's the wisenheimer (or multiple wisenheimers) who wrote in Spoon?
i voted for most overated, not over blogged.
wtf?
Arcade Fire are overblogged, but that's only because they're the Best Live Act ;)
Yeah, I took it as most overrated too (Animal Collective). For overblogged I'd have voted differently (Justice or LCD even though I love both of them, I don't need to hear about them everyday). Arcade Fire is a solid choice though.
i feel vindicated.
i voted for dan deacon, good to see his sweet face at number 10
Deerhunter all the way. Man, can't believe they're not #1.
anyone who voted for animal collective is stupid. yeah, i said it. yeah, im close-minded. so? however, deerhunter, there we go.
Haha, I wrote in the Honorable Mention. Now I feel special.
Deerhunter #1, Feist #2, Arcade Fire #3, Radiohead #4. But Deerhunter... geez, I hate that band and I've never heard ONE NOTE of one of their songs. THANKS BLOGGERS.
Fuck Arcade Fire.
So happy to see Dan Deacon on this list.
Fuck that guy.
DEERHUNTER #1 HOW DID THAT NOT HAPPEN? oh yeah sg isn't up to the pf level of bradford cox worshiping.. YET 08 what what!
The Arcade Fire deserve all the praise they've been given. Nobody denied this before they blew up. Fucking hipsters, pull your heads out of your asses and stop hating on the basis of popularity.
Is that a leather jacket Thom Yorke is wearing? I refuse to believe it...
hahaha I like it how Britney Spears is #50
but I got one question:
where is kate nash??
