Welp, I like one of those (Mos Def). But, I wasn't even expecting to like any of them, so... way to go Spin!

Somehow I knew that MPP would be topping the lists of only the most pretentious magazines around.

I don't get the hype with Animal Collective. I've tried to listen to them, and see what it was all about. Maybe I need to have some amazing spiritual moment while it's on or something, but I just don't get this band. Ah well, it'll save me being disappointed when everyone else says things like: "this band used to make great albums"

Major lol at Sonic Boom by Kiss at 40! Doesn't really fit with general theme of the list.

I've only just clicked on the list and what do I see right away? Kiss. List is fail haha.

And I don't think that listening to Fall Be Kind will convince anyone differently about Animal Collective. If you've heard them more than a few times and still don't like them, you're probably out of luck. Shitty for you.

I say Fall Be Kind because it's their most accessible. I think the best way of going about it would be
to go through their discography from Sung Tongs on to fully realize the evolution of the band, but
you need some time and dedication for that.

List is missing some great albums by bands like RX Bandits, Thrice, ETID, Portugal... all of which could've replaced some of the crap ones like U2, KISS, Wolfmother, Drake, Rick Ross
