One of the better lists imo, but still missing the absolute essential metal albums (of course).
| | |
Black Kids named themselves that so anybody hatin' on them would seem like a racist.
| | |
omg traced in air isn't even there?!

boooorrrrriiiiinnnnngggg
| | |
I don't like how they repeat artists in the best songs part, but yeah "Kids" is majorly hip. And Frightened Rabbit is hot.
| | |
"22. Oasis, Dig Out Your Soul
23. Scarlett Johansson, Anywhere I Lay My Head"
Now this is just not right.
| | |
this list probably sucks the least, as expected. Metal discrimination ftl though
| | |
black kids need to stop being on these lists. ajgakjgd
| | |
A bit too British-oriented for mine. To be expected, but still.
| | |
how did the killers not manage to make this list i thought the nme loved to suck their collective dick
honestly. rather them than MGMT.
| | |
YES 36 MADE A LIST :D
| | |
boris's smile should have been up here. the new vines album could have made the list as well. meh, it just hasn't been a great year for music.
NME is really hyping up MGMT...
| | |
lol MGMT has 3 good songs, and that's it
| | |
These lists are a JOKE, you can just tell that all the decisions for placing are completely arbitrary. Scarlett Johansson better than Coldplay?!?!
3 songs in the top five by the SAME BAND?!?!
Hooray for CAPITAL LETTERS
| | |
Only thing I agree with is Bon Iver. Sucky list.
| | |
poo. =( mgmt. really? REALLY?
| | |
Paper Planes yo
| | |
Awesome list, I completely agree with it.
| | |
gee didn't see this coming
| | |
kids being the #1 single is absolutely correct
| | |
yay!
some love for these new puritans!
