"You Ain't Alone" nearly reaches transcendence, but the guitar playing on "Hold On" is some of the laziest I've heard from bands of this ilk — Creedence it ain't. (not to mention the piano in the tail half of that song .. eesh). I don't want Steve Vai solos, but I would like it to sound like they are playing with some…

A million television apologists doesn't change the fact that TV series never end well.

I saw the Greenhornes put on a great show at the Empty Bottle … the first openers, the Ornery Little Darlings, were pretty bad.

Jonze's "Where the Wild Things Are" is terrible, saying it's "richer" than the book is even worse.

Demolition Man fucking owns.
I'm pretty sure every guy born around the time I was (1982-1988) loves this movie.

And I wanted to punch Grant in the face every time he called her "monkey face."
Endearing!

I'm talking precisely about the ending. And with the ending changed it's an infuriating film.
Production code wouldn't allow a heroine to committ suicide (even though it's sort of a gray-area suicide if she's drinking milk someone else poisoned, even if she drinks it knowingly), and the studio didn't want Grant to be…

here's hoping they go with the original plot Hitchcock wanted, and not the mess that eventually made it to film.
The "Suspicion" that made it to theaters is one of his worst.

"After 2010’s meticulous, majestic Shame, Shame, no one was asking Dr. Dog to go back to the scrappy lo-fi rock of the band’s younger days."

i just listened, that's a lot worse than mediocre. I can see why they're taking voice lessons, etc. that was fucking awful … like Oasis fronted by whoever sings for Guster, after hanging out with these guys: http://vimeo.com/9844050

if you need $100,000 to get noticed, maybe your music isn't good enough. jesus christ fuck these rich kids.

because Post War is one of my favorite albums by anyone, while She and Him albums are cloying pieces of precious garbage. So if it wasn't for his collaborations with Zooey, we might get M. Ward albums more often.

I like Broken Arrow, but I really really like Greendale. Definitely underrated, tho my possible over-appreciation of it might be due to it coming out when I was 18, very much in the middle of those "I hate Bush so much" years.

pretty sure Nevermind has had Classic Status for ten years.

It points in a new direction of awful RnB that I will have to avoid for hopefully only six months, and then will go away.

Ryan, I don't think you actually read the list, or if you did you don't know what any of it sounds like, or everytime you see an artist you don't know you just assume a lot of shit that isn't true.

yeah a lot of that Quietus list is pretty obscure

i still don't understand how you people are regular commenters/readers on this website and don't know half this list. Do you people not actually read anything on this website? Do you not actually listen to music you read about?
Here's how it works, it's not hard: read an album review, listen to it yourself online, and…

Drake is fucking awful

did you guys know that Britney Spears is better than Tune-Yards? Man I've been listening to the wrong shit all year. Why such an emphasis on pop? There is so little indie rock on this list and it's kind of depressing. I know list complaints are pointless, but this looks more like EW's year-end list than the AVClub's.…
