Wow, I really thought Bill Callahan and Wild Flag were locks for the top ten. |

Ed Vedder I think Bon Iver will be 1, Black Keys 2 and EV 3. I also think Radiohead and MMJ or Tom Waits will round out the top 5. |

Man I hated that Opeth record. Such a shame too. When I had heard it was more mellow/prog I was really excited because I love, love, love Damnation. Its probably in my top 3 for them. |

I don't see it being a record I'll be listening to, say, next year. I loved the shit out Damnation when it came out, but it's not one I put on often, even though I still like it quite a bit. |

I think eight from my list didn't make the cut. The Horrible Crowes – Elsie The Low Anthem – Smart Flesh Greg Brown – Freak Flag John Hiatt – Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns The War On Drugs – Slave Ambient Elbow – Build a Rocket Boys! Thee, Stranded Horse – Humbling Tides Russian Circles – Empros |

The Black Keys album is good, and it made my top 25, but I'm not sure it should be number one. For the longest time I thought The Decemberists album would be my number one. It was quite close for sure. Bon Iver should be top three. I placed it number one right over The Horrible Crowes album. I'm sure not many hear like THC or have listened to them. |

Quote: i'm fairly certain that the following will make the RM top 50: i regret nothing.eddie vedder radiohead the black keys the foo fighters feist *forgot bon iver's s/t too. so rather than give them any more points toward their all but locked up inclusion, i figured i'd rank what i did. y'all should check out WU LYF, unouomedude, and the smith westerns. good work by all, and thanks MF for taking the time. |
