seriously i must be the only one that thinks james blake is overrated

like they had any in the first place

wtf time was my ultimate music source last year

satellite you're right they've gone so far downhill

back to rolling stone

There's always Pitchfork..........

lately some of the shit i've read on here makes absolutepunk look like mensa in comparison

pitchfork is cool and all but they big metalheads over there and that's just offensive

some of these are pretty swell actually.
not bad time, not bad.

I see 'Barton Hollow' getting a lot of love. Surprising, really; I didn't think that many people listened to it.

i don't really like pitchfork but they still provide one of, if not the most interesting aoty list...
this shit is boring

Pitchfork's stuff is rather predictable though

FACT on the other hand, their aoty list is some prime shit

the Wire's list is always good too

Kind of like the list

needz moar metal

Terrible. Painfully out of touch.

"Seriously i must be the only one that thinks james blake is overrated"
lol check my recent ratings

"Adele is fucking horrible
Time magazine are sellouts"

I hope you're just joking or trying to sound purposefully stupid or something.

also, inb4 more of
THEY DIDN'T PUT IN MY FAVORITE UNDERGROUND RELEASE OF THE YEAR BUT THEY PUT ADELE AT NUMBER 1 WTF

I think I like most of these albums for the most part, I don't think any of them would get into my AOTY lists, tho.

Adele is a fantastic pop artist, it's just a shame that I hate her and most of her fat fans as people because they're all stupid.

"it's just a shame that I hate her and most of her fat fans as people because they're all stupid"

yeah

thanks for posting the NPR list. i wonder if Bombino's Agadez is just a re-release of Group Bombino's - Guitars from Agadez Vol 2 or if it's something new/different

I'm not on the Adele train at all. Don't think she's terrible, just average. As for the list... I was expecting much worse. This isn't so bad.

I hope you're just joking or trying to sound purposefully stupid or something.

I've got Adele's '21' in my Top 10 (ditto for Florence), so I ain't complaining with this list.

to be fair sputnik's lists always suck dick too

florence was so disappointing

The list is very predictable, yet I can't argue with some picks.

time just lost their underground cred

like they had any in the first place

am i the only one noticing that the userbase is getting dumber by the day?

list could be a LOT worse. at least there's no Gaga here. Pretty decent for a TIME magazine list.

AOTY lists are pathetic they will always be a populairty contests. Even the one /mu/ made is a crappy made by copy pasting the best new music section of pitchfork.

pjjjjaaaaayyyy

florence was so disappointing

Dammit thought it said Time at first (Wintersun). Either way, somewhat expected list with a couple I didn't see coming.

maybe ahm kerrazy

adele is basically just a fat chick who can sing

she made that song every1 loves

adele is basically just a fat chick who can sing

Adele takes first place? Lol... I mean, to each their own, but c'mon.

Why is everyone so surprised that Adele was @ #1. I mean, c'mon. It's obvious.

I'm not THAT surprised, but the rest of the list is (mostly) solid. Although new Beastie Boys was good, but by no means top tier.

wet puppy likes to dance

I have no problem with Adele being number 1 due to the fact that Set Fire To The Rain is just too good

Cormorant's just there so they don't look like they're ignorant of metal.

That Adele album is so close to being a perfect record, save for the awful 'Rumour Has It'.

List is pretty good.

Gratz to them for surprising me exactly 2/10 times although I have no problem with a separate 3/10 of their selections.

top 10 list is pretty good with the exception of tune-yards

barton hollow rules

Whokill is sweet, back down lucid

At least this list doesn't suck as much as their previous 100 best songs list.

Don't get why tUnE-yArDs get so much love. Cant stand them

Yep, list is my current digs

WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL

5 9 10 are great

Adele is fucking horrible x1000

our list is the bestist

Seriously fuck Adele. The rest of this is acceptable though

I am happy because Beastie Boys are on their list.

Frank Ocean, really? Huh.

Gabe calls somebody stupid for saying something stupid and follows it up with an equally stupid sentiment.

to me it seems like they made a list most people would be happy with

yep, opposite of gabe

edit: i like him

It's the most popular album of the year, haven't you heard

lol @ the hipsters buttmad over adele

It's not stupid. She's annoying and hypocritical as a person who pretends like she's trying to be some sort of leader of a fat rights movement and she's proud of her weight, then she always tries to make herself look as slim as possible with camera angles, slimming clothes, makeup, etc. Then she says that she puts singing FIRST so she won't bother with something as dumb as losing weight, then she constantly smokes cigarettes which kills your voice. Unless of course she wants to go all Tom Waits/Howlin' Wolf on us.
and then her fans buy into it and are the type of girls to go, "OH, WELL YOU DON'T THINK BEING FAT IS ATTRACTIVE? I BET YOU LIKE ANOREXIC GIRLS, HUH? I BET YOU THINK THEY'RE ATTRACTIVE. I JUST HAVE CURVES AND I'M SEXY~~~~" No, there's a difference between having curves/being average and being overweight.

Like I said, her music is good, but as people, she/her fans are obnoxious.

"Adele is a fantastic pop artist, it's just a shame that I hate her and most of her fat fans as people because they're all stupid."

Statements like that are very telling.

kind of late to quote that one, tho.

Sounds like you just don't want to talk about it.

Look up three posts, silly.

im gonna need more Bon Iver, Radiohead, and Colin Stetson on this list..

wow man take it back a notch. of course she's gonna say she's ok with her weight, it's the only option she's got. you're acting like trying to look good is a fucking human rights violation. and those camera angles are the CAMERA GUY'S fault, not her's

as for her fans, of course they're going to support her and like her for that reason.

i still dunno who the fuck adele is

adele is very sexy

never heard her music and had no idea she was fat

She's not really fat, just chubby and round

tomarnold says what

adele sucks

gabe is really putting in the effort to be a fucking moron

Adele is a great singer. But most people are just suckers for her voice because she's a contralto.

...At least they put Frank Ocean on the list...

am i the only one noticing that the userbase is getting dumber by the day?

"gabe is really putting in the effort to be a fucking moron"

You know, you say "lol xD ur dumb" but you never explain.
OHHH WELL.

and andcas, I don't think you're allowed to talk on the subject of being dumb.

BA DUM TISHHHHHHHHHHH

really surprised no bon iver on this list, seems like one of the ones that would

"you never explain"

it explains itself

I HATE ADELE BECAUSE SHE'S OKAY WITH HER ABUNDANT WEIGHT BUT SHE TRIES TO APPEAR SKINNIER WHAT A BITCH

5 is a pretty good album (mixtape). The rest is pretty meh. Seriously though Adele is not THAT good.

8 is pretty awesome too.

Lack of Major/Minor makes me a sad panda.

Fucking horrible list.

fuck time mag, who gives a shit really

I didn't think so many publications liked Adele, but apparently they do!

Adele is a fat pig so she wins fat pig of the year.

1. The Poisoned. "The fact that you included Adele on this list of 100 things you like makes it a total joke."

Pj Harvey made MY aoty. . . . . when i read frank, some stupid hopeful part of me wished it was Frank Turner

terrible

Needs more Thrice.
