top-lists are evil. that being said: beck only on 19? tv on the radio only on 20? no calexico? who wrote this list?

Wheels · 11-30-2008, 10:01 PM

Well Lisa's has only been released in Ireland so far. It'll be no.1 next year

eva_arg · 11-30-2008, 10:02 PM

I was surprised to see Juana Molina there!!! I bet Verenita will be happy

#Ian# · 11-30-2008, 10:58 PM

Nice to see **** Buttons on the list.

Don't care for that Fleet Foxs record at all, terribly dull.

Joyful · 12-01-2008, 12:23 AM

IMO Overall a bad list...

Woah, I don't even know who half the people on that list are. I used to listen to the radio all the time when I was driving to and from work, but now that I no longer have a long commute (I work in my basement, lol) I really don't keep up with the newer music except for occasionally listening to web daio stations. Guess I'm not really missing anything though, seeing as how everyone is saying the list sucks.

29 Yeasayer - All Hour Cymbals
28 Neon Neon - Stainless Style
27 M83 - Saturdays=Youth
24 ****ed Up - The Chemistry of Common Life
23 Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
20 TV on the Radio - Dear Science
17 Sigur Rós - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
14 British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
7 Glasvegas - Glasvegas
6 The Hold Steady - Stay Positive
4 Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
1 Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

Obviously, the Mojo selection alone isn't representative of this year's music. Have Rolling Stone and Pitchfork issued their yearly lists yet?

cille · 12-02-2008, 07:22 PM

Fleet foxes are nice n'all but they are not the best of 2008. It's incredible how hyped they are. But actually the drummer of FF, J. Tillman, has released this year's greatest album, Vacilando Territory Blues. Nothing else to say.

i agree with you, i bought the album because of the great reviews but i didn't think it was really that good. the only other album I have from that list is Með Suð...

This is what I said to a friend to annoy him: "Fleet Foxes are Polyphonic Spree for the poor..."

borneoman · 12-02-2008, 08:15 PM

Agree on Bon Iver and Sigur Ros... and Portishead too!!
