Best of the Decade: eMusic’s Suprisingly Great List

eMusic’s best of the decade list is, at once, interesting, broad enough to please us indie kids but idiosyncratic enough to excite, and the product of actual taste — not a number-mashing staff vote. At least so it appears. A few missteps, of course (seriously, fuck Bon Iver and his ever-steadier place in the hipster canon), but dudes have made the best big-ticket list of this kind yet, Pitchfork included. Check it out. (Rawkblog’s own picks are here.)

    Really love this list, particularly some of the "this one's better than that one" picks (Michigan and Arular both right, Girls Can Tell wrong but justifiable). But honestly, where the hell is Yankee Hotel Foxtrot? Or Discovery? Or Since I Left You? In a list this 'diverse,' it seems silly to ignore three records that essentially defined their corner of the music world.
  • In addition to your italics, could you also underline "fuck Bon Iver"? Thanks.

    High-five!
