Always enjoy reading Ptichfork's list. I've been waiting for Cokemachingglows.
Music is a subjective thing eh?
And props to Pitchfork for their number one. Which is also my favorite of the year.
"Silent Shout" by The Knife is the one album I heard this year that sounded completely fresh.

i kinda liked pitchfork's top 50 over CMGs...(w00t for Joanna Newsom @ #3 by pitchfork!)
strangely enough, some notable albums were missed from both lists; like Begin to Hope and Rabbit Fur Coat
but yes, very subjective as virometal said.

A distinct lack of anything 'metal' on these lists (Agalloch, Enslaved...)
Do these sites only cater for indie/alternative?

If you can't say something nice...
At least Pitchfork put The Drift in the top 10

I can live with Pitchfork's list, though I am no great supporter of Pitchfork. Cokemachineglow, well, they had a nice list - just not one that I can really say I "like."
Both are, though, better than Rolling Stone, all things considered.

Pitchfork wrote this of of Sonic Youth:

that right there is enough to sink their credibility. yet there's so much more...
Quote:
| On Murray Street and Sonic Nurse, Jim O'Rourke pulled Sonic Youth out of a late-90s rut, spurring noise-rock jams that looked backward, forward, and somewhere in between. But even the biggest fan of those albums probably wouldn't deny craving a sequel to pop records like Goo and Dirty... |

CMG writes some of the most dense, obtuse, snobby critical reviews I have ever read in my life, and I love them for it, even though so much of their prose is damn near unreadable. My favorite line in the top 50 was about Ghostface's Fishscale:
"And “9 Milli Bros.” might be a second-rate Clan cut, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be thanking God on high for it, lifting your W in praise."
It's for lines like that that its worth it to slog through paragraph after paragraph of confusing and perhaps irrelevant intellectual rhetoric that CMG's writers seem capable of pumping out on a daily basis.
