Fuck Spin

There is a lot to talk about in the world of music at 4 a.m., but I have something specific to say.

Spin is bullshit.

Granted, if you're from Spin and you're hiring ignore this post. But seriously. Against Me! best album of the year? Maybe if this was 2006. Wasn't that year awful? I think Tilly and the Wall was one of the best albums last year. But not in 2007. This year was rather amazing. As you can obviously note from our Top 20. I think we spent 30 minutes on that and it came out about 100x better than Spin's.

They did a decent job on the Top 10, which is all I will look at considering how bothered I am by their number one. Maybe tomorrow when I have nothing better to do, I'll humor them by looking at this shit list. Putting Jay-Z and M.I.A. in the top 10 is sort of a cop out though. Jay-Z blew. Especially when I briefly saw they had Brother Ali on here. M.I.A. was pretty good, but was no where near her last one. I feel like you need to put M.I.A. in your top 10 just because you can look "diverse" in your music choices. Well guess what, you just look stupid. Kanye at four is doable, especially with LCD Soundsystem in front of it, but Against Me! and Arcade Fire can go to hell. Arcade Fire was boring as shit. Winehouse also slides at seven because I understand the mainstream appeal to her and she is actually pretty good. The rest of this list can go to hell though. Spin, you fail me.
