Is it off of me to question the credibility of any list that doesn't have '21' in its Top 10?

[when the pawn...]

So far, she's 3/3 but only placed #45 on Stereogum. I expect to see Adele, Bon Iver & Fleet Foxes pretty much everywhere. Also Drake & tUnE-yArDs.

I think it will get mentions, but maybe 'Rolling In The Deep' will fare better than the album imo.

Well, aside from Z100, at what point are those lists trying way to hard to be hip??

I went through a phase like that, where I thought in order to consider it a "best" album it had to be obscure. Ridiculous. Yes, a lot of pop music is garbage, but then again, there is a reason a lot of those obscure artists never have a pop hit too.

In addition to never having even heard of a number of artists on those lists, even the "cult" favorites of which I am familiar, put out subpar efforts and are getting recognized based on their obscurity and lack of a hit, IMO, more than the quality of their album. At least they have the sense to include Adele, but come on.

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

A lot of those albums aren't accessible enough or just don't have the sound to make it on pop radio. Without mainstream support, many of them stay obscure. But of course it depends on the criteria the reviewers use to determine what it is about these albums they like. I think a good list will combine genres, including even the most mainstream of pop. I'm not going to value a list that doesn't have anything recognizable for me but I'm also less likely to value one that focuses only on popular music either. The ones that have a good mix I like the most because then it shows which of the pop songs were worthy enough to make it and which of the unknown stud actually worth checking out.

[HolidayGuy]

Those radio-station lists are not "best-of" lists, so they don't really fit with the theme of this thread.

I love reading Best Of lists. It gives me so many new songs and albums to check out. It's how I found one of my favorite songs this year ("Not In Love" by Crystal Castles).

Yess!!! Countdown is one of my favorite's off of "4" so it's nice to see it end up on some year end list's! Top 10 on Pitchfork is lovely <3

[c0ldasfire]

Nice to see "Till The World Ends" charting so highly on these lists, this song deserves the recognition (and deserved some Grammy nominations!!)

[#LisaRinna]

I love how Frank Ocean is getting all these mentions and it's for a mixtape because IDJ didn't even release his EP.

Could this be based on how many times they played the videos?

In any case the 'Rolling In The Deep' video is not on par with the song itself in terms of quality imo.

[Enigma.]

Fleet Foxes' album is so boring compared to its predecessor.. It just doesn't go anywhere. The biggest disappointment of the year.
