Critics' Top 20 Albums of the Year
So, today I looked at top 10 album lists from 16 different music websites/publications (including Amazon.com, NME, The Onion, Pitchfork, Paste Magazine, Rolling Stone, and Slant Magazine) and compiled them to figure out a conclusive Top 20 Albums of the Year, according to music critics. And, here it is:
20. Wilco - Sky Blue Sky
19. Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
18. Battles - Mirrored
17. Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
16. Kanye West - Graduation
15. Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future
14. Feist - The Reminder
13. PJ Harvey - White Chalk
12. Bruce Springstein - Magic
11. Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
10. Kings of Leon - Because of the Times
9. White Stripes - Icky Thump
8. The Good, The Bad, and The Queen - The Good, The Bad, and The Queen
7. The National - Boxer
6. Panda Bear - Person Pitch
5. Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare
4. M.I.A. - Kala
3. Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
2. Radiohead - In Rainbows
1. LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
I will post my own Favorite 20 Albums of the Year, once I figure them all out….pretty soon probably…….if you care.
