On Best of 2007 (Not Mine: Everybody Else’s)
As the Annual “Best Of” List Season begins to wind down, I thought I’d do a quick, obviously-not-scientific-at-all assessment, and see what kinda findings I could come up with re: my Music-Blogger “Best Of 2007″ List Cheat-Sheet.
(Method: Each item on a list that also appears on the Cheat-Sheet = 1 pt.)
Scores:
1. Average Blogger Score: 3/10
2. Amazon, Baltimore City Paper, The Guardian, LA Times, Maxim, Metacritic, Mojo, NME, Other Music, Q, Time, and Uncut: 4/10-5/10
3. Filter, The Onion, Stylus, Drowned In Sound, Paste: 7/10-8/10
4. Stereogum Readers: 10/10 (100%)
I think Pitchfork’s list is supposed to be posted this week; here’s my prediction: 12/18 Update: It’s posted.
1. Panda Bear – Person Pitch
2. LCD Soundsystem – SoS
3. MIA – Kala
4. Radiohead – In Rainbows
5. Of Montreal
6. Animal Collective – Strawberry Jam
7. Spoon – Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
8. Battles – Mirrored
9. The Field – From Here We Go Sublime
10. Burial
1. LCD Soundsystem – SoS
2. Deerhunter – Cryptograms
3. Battles – Mirrored
4. MIA – Kala
5. Panda Bear – Person Pitch
6. Animal Collective – Strawberry Jam
7. Spoon – Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
8. The Field – From Here We Go Sublime
9. The National – Boxer
10. Radiohead – In Rainbows
I give the Pitchfork List a 7.2.
