I like the apparent Infinite Jest allusion.

That analogy doesn't hold up considering Tebow actually sucks at what he does.

For all the bad picks, which are too numerous to count, at least they have Hospitality on the list! I really like that album, I wish more people would try to look for the good in lists instead of shooting fish in barrels.

People who call Taylor Swift Top 40 drivel must not listen to the radio a lot.

Also I'll miss Corbon and his pop inclinations, kudos for him riding for Believe. I hope he brings some of his pop appreciation to Pitchfork. I like how Tom comes here and Corban goes there, a fair and fitting swap I think.

Great list, I especially like the inclusion of Chairlift in the top 10.

Agree, I dislike the fact that Frank Ocean gets such major buzz for being bisexual just because it's rare in the African American community, while Perfume Genius performs songs equally if not more affecting and powerful that deal with the same personal trauma and he barely gets any recognition cause who cares about another gay white gay. Obviously the black community has yet become as accepting to LGBTs so it make's Frank's decision to come out much more brave, but I believe in today's multicultural society it's easier to associate with the elements that accept you, I don't think Frank Ocean is spending much time with the people that irrationally and ignorantly hate him. Anyways great album, I hope it get more nods coming up.

Whoa dere about Ke$ha, her old stuff might have been slightly insufferable but have you checked out Warrior? Her collab with the Strokes might be the Best Strokes song since like, You Only Live Once.

I like how that Village Voice piece relegates dubstep to a '00s microtrend graveyard footnote. Not the most prescient prediction.

No Bloom is genuinely shocking tho, but cheers for the overall diversity.

Major props for including Red, the best singer-songwriter album of the year. (Cause that's what Swift is, obvs)

Wow I was not expecting such a nakedly painful and emotional track, even knowing the beat. This was really deep and shocking and has made me take notice of her as an artist.

Yeah, her hipster-baiting really struck a mark with the Stereogum demographic I bet; I know it did with me.

The sales projection have him doing Cole level numbers, which I find very impressive considering he has not nearly the amount of mainstream appeal. I hate to buy into the Hip Hip needs a savior stuff, but Kendrick may have just saved Hip Hop.

Can I just say Sing for Me, I'm Dying of Thirst is some straight next level shit. To make a 12 minute long song that doesn't feel long enough is astounding, not to mention the amazing profound thematic concerns it presents. Quite possibly my favorite song of the year on almost certainly my AOTY, nothing else presents such a cohesive narrative if anything. It's great to listen to a genuine Album, I have missed them.

Yay, I'm sure this song is amazing, hopefully I can find some time in between listening to #GKMC to check this out today.

Initially coming here through a link in a tweet by Tom I thought he was going to be comparing the album to the great singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, not the Tarantino movie. I am hugely disappointed now.

Nope, still at number 3. The Blueprint is a classic and all, but my vote goes to The Black Album.

Bon Iver and Vampire Weekend seem to be doing fine; the Grizz should perhaps emulate them more.

Definitely tied with 808's and Heartbreak for best breakup up album of the new millennium. SImply a classic

Woww, Rick Rubin produced? She really has ascended to the level of musical and cultural institution. Anyone been to H & M recently? She's more plastered over the place than a rachet hoe on a pill on Juicy J's dick. I stole a few placecards for myself to plaster over my room and dream about. She is definietely reigning hipster queen; bye Zooey bye!

Amazing song. Has anyone listened to the new LDR? I think it's a solid song and shows a promising new direction.

Big Sean might not be that good as a rapper, but his new mixtape Detroit has great production and killer guest verses; i'd definitely put it over Flocka's.

This album is amazing and transcendant as we all know by now, but has anyone checked out Carly Rae Jepsen's album? As far as pop albums go, it's definitely on the shortlist for best one of the year.
