What a joke ha. No NIN or Foos.

And Franz Ferdinand??? Please. Those lists are always pretty bogus.

Probably all UK magazines due to 75% of the artists/bands listed.

No Bullet For My Valentine - The Posion?!?! Wtf!!

Yep and theres nothing but crap played in the UK..

The new sevendust and dream theater are alright.

Havent heard new dream theater but im liking sevendusts new album alot

looks like some mags might lean a bit towards indie pop/rock

Re: Best albums of the year
 

The Arcade Fire's album Funeral was released in 2004. Thusly I'm calling shenanigans on each list in which they appear, ie. all three.

I do, however, like how Sufjan Stevens was on two lists, and Black Mountain made an appearance.

I'm not surprised NIN or Foo Fighters didn't appear, seeing as how they'll be judged against past work (to which both acts' new albums would compare unfavourably). Sevendust is rightly not there because they're not very good.

Dude, the U.K. is currently putting out the best music...

They seem to have forgotten the only good albums, and included the only shitty albums.
