No thank you.

One of these things is not like the others.

So weird.

I count 1 good album

I only know Mastodon and Lady Gaga, and I'm sure know-one needs to know my opinion on the latter...!

Why is this in the metal news?

time did a lot better than spin

I count 5 good albums. 50% = F

2,3,5,7,8

good list. 9 would make my super cool '09 list.

meh

Time you have disappointed me.

Could be worse.

This is actually a pretty decent, varied list.

1. American Saturday Night - Brad Paisley

honestly, compared to other mainstream lists, this is pretty good

but lol brad paisley

list has phoenix, thus it rules

Good to see Raekwon on here.

WTFuckingF Brad Paisley?!? Why does the mainstream press suck SO goddamn much?

I didn't know Time listened to music... But wtf GaGa

I only know Mastodon and Lady Gaga, and I'm sure know-one needs to know my opinion on the latter...!

DEAR GOD SPUTNIK, THEY DIDN"T INCLUDE ANIMAL COLLECTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

brad paisley's singles are far from bad. just because it's mainstream country doesn't mean it sucks. plus i think his album has recieved mostly critical acclaim. i think i remember seeing it at 70 on metacritic.

holy shit it's at 86!

This list is a lot better then i thought it would be.

^^ only cause the blogospehere hasn't gotten to it yet.
Or they wont ever, cause it's Brad Paisley and who the fuck cares?
also, list is ok, good for Time.

I do like half of this list (2,3,5,8,9). Probably not as the best albums of the year, but at least the list isn't as terrible as these things generally tend to be.

lol thought this was gonna be conor's list

4 great albums here so pretty good list

Sorry, you're an idiot if you claim anything by Lady GaGa is better than Mastodon. Fail.

dude mastodon suck

This is actually a pretty good list.
But what the fuck is Crack The Skye doing here?

Oh, and Lady Goga rocks.

mastodon is metal that's okay for critics to praise

Shit.
Who the fuck is Lady Goga?

mastodon is vagina metal

Sorry, you're an idiot if you claim anything by Lady GaGa is better than Mastodon. Fail.

It just does, ok? No one needs reasoning anymore, just a big mouth.

at least they have variety?

"brad paisley's singles are far from bad. just because it's mainstream country doesn't mean it sucks."

No, it's mainstream country which does mean it sucks. Go listen to Sweetheart of the Rodeo by the Byrds and then come talk.

"hey man just cuz they play (some popular pop band)'s songs alongside (insert several not good pop bands) doesn't mean they're bad"

"dude listen to pet sounds then come talk to me"

"whaaa... that is irrelavent"

"it's better tho"

"so..."

:end convo:

DEAR GOD SPUTNIK, THEY DIDN"T INCLUDE ANIMAL COLLECTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

uhhh.

lol

i think i can recall them saying earlier this year that vekatimest "wasn't that good and certainly isn't their breakout album but still a swell album in its own right"

Lol Brad Paisley mixed with Mastodon.

Crack the Skye is such a good album. Props for putting that on there Time. The rest of the list mostly sucks though.

"Lol Brad Paisley mixed with Mastodon."

Bradtodon Masley?

i got 2 good albums...

Lol I don't get Crack the Skye's lukewarm rep. Best Mastodon album in my opinion but each to his own I guess. Takes quite a few listens to absorb admittedly.

You really must hate yourself to listen shit like Lady Gaga. Glad to see Dirty Projectors and Phoenix in this list, tough.

I'm really glad to see the Dirty Projectors getting some praise. They deserve it. That's a fantastic album. I rather like this list compared to some others released this year.

i can only imagine the shit storm that would occur on this site if Dream Theater was #1 album of the year.

WHY IS MASTODON ON EVERY LIST? Godamnit people it's not that good.

It's like they are trying to please everyone

hahahahahah wtf is this. not bad but so random

list = ew

Since when is Time qualified to give an opinion on music?

since when are you qualified to give an opinion on music?

Mastodon is boring as shit

actually I'd rather take a shit than listen to mastodon any day

lol mastodon hate is ridiculous

crack the skye is very diserving of the praise its getting

Gotta give them credit for a varied list, even though it's pretty shitty.

yay
mastodon

mastodon is good... whats with the hate. cts isnt their best release, but its pretty good, and nice to see being recognized in the mainstream press. plus that royal gold edition or whatever the fuck it is looks sick. christmas present hell yeah.

also, lady gaga is one of the only good mainstream pop artists.

ZOMG!!! FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU NO ANIMAL COLLECTIVE TIME MAGAZINE DOESN'T KNOW MUSIC MPP BEST ALBUM OF 2009!! BAAAAA HUUURR DUUR ANIMAL ANIMAL ANIMAL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRYWEAAAAAATHER!!!!!!!!!

since when are you qualified to give an opinion on music?

Crack the Skye is chic.

wtf.....Love vs. Money - The-Dream.....sigh list is null because of this an everything else, mostly this though.

Mastodon over Converge?

i do not think so.

and Props to Raekwon.

Hell Yeah for the Avett Brothers recognition

Brad Paisley is the man. His country is not the backwashed pop bullshit that Taylor Swift and half the other mother fuckers are. I havent really heard this new CD but his other stuff is more traditional country then most other shit today. I mean my favorite two country singers have to be B. Paisley and George Strait. Both have their styles and works well for both

Yeah Avett brothers made top 10 list of the year in TIME MAGAZINE...

I'm so proud I could cry.

3 and 7 are great.

Very odd that a praised magazine such as Time noticed Mastodon and Raekwon. Surprised Time didnt put the new U2 on there, considering how much the magazine loves that band.
