in going through the numerous top 50/100 album lists for 2008 i am yet to see the walkmen’s ‘you and me’ album take top honors. some of the lists failed to mention the album at all. i would mention the lists, but in doing so i am pretty sure it plays into the hands of the idiots who wrote them. it seems that the goal of a ‘top list’ is not to actually list the ‘tops’ in whatever field the list might be made in, but rather to create a list that is so offensive and wrong that it gets people talking, inevitably selling magazines and getting web visitors. anyway why listen to what any journalist has to say and find out for yourself? tickets are still available for one of the only shows on earth that continuously provides the same thrill of making out with a girl you have pined for for so long…
i am also curious how anyone could come up with a top 50 albums for 2008 list. thought not as insane about finding new bands i am positive that 50 great albums were not made this year. i couldn’t even name 50 albums that came out in 2008!
