Thier top album lists always interest me, maybe because some of their picks goes against the grain of everyone else. I have an issue with their # 1 and # 50 pick. I would almost be tempted to swap the two and call it a day. What do you guys think?
Here are some that I am a little shocked didn't make their list:
Real Animal -Alejandro Escovedo Rook -Shearwater Brighter Than Creation's Dark - Drive-By Truckers Third - Portishead Carried To Dust - Calexico One Kind Favor - B.B. King The Renaissance - Q-Tip Furr - Blitzen Trapper

Did I miss it or is Ryan Adams - Cardinology not on that list? I would put it in the 30-40 group probably. Certainly not one of the best of the year, but definitely top 50 material

How the hell did She & Him make number 1? And Vampire Weekend at number 3? AND this Girl Talk album in the top 20? WTF?????? Feed the Animals is the most craptacular of them all its just pure mashup without any of the good stuff from Secret Diary or Night Ripper.
I agree with 3 (Nick Cave, Sigur Ros, and Bon Iver) of their top 20...
Once again, Paste makes a top albums list that I highly disagree with.
TV On The Radio at 50? Girl Talk's new one being ANYWHERE near a best of list, much less the top 10? Vampire Weekend? Deerhunter's new one in the top ten? I can just go on and on and on...
But, it's just opinions. Funny that hardly any of the albums I loved the most this year made it.
Also, a quite indie-cred list. So it explains a little bit.
Girl Talk shouldn't even touch that list. Santogold and Diplo should be higher as should No Age .. Of Montreal is out and TVOTR should take that spot. I liked the She and Him but that should be ALOT lower. Paste falls short on this one as they did last year ... Plus NO Spiritualized? Quack that. Deerhunter get 10 and they get squat. Not in my world.

could not agree with you more. I dont get how Spiritualized and Portishead weren't on this list. And I know its a covers album but if Girl Talk got on there where's Allison Moorer?
