I was wondering if you'd join us this year! Hello!
At least you won't have Brit on your albums list... I can't say the same for me.
"Bang, Bang, Bang," "E.T.," "Mouthful of Diamonds," and "Crystalline" <3
The Sounds, Regina Spector, and Paramore ^_^
Songs I'm glad you mentioned:
"Unkind"
"Bright Lights, Bigger City"
"Heart Skips a Beat" <-- probably favorite from songs I didn't know on this list, such a cute video!
"Charlene" - I forgot about this! It was so great seeing this, haha
I always love how well your descriptions are written, and the pictures look great as usual ^_^
Oh and jealous you described Yuna's "Come As You Are" so well!
TC! Nice to see you recognizing Britney's trifecta in Pop this year. "I Wanna Go" was a legitimate smash.
Also - couldn't agree more about Blink and Evanescence. The singles were fine, but that's about it, and definitely nothing new. I didn't even feel nostalgic!
Your countdown is an institution now. One more year and it will turn a decade.
Fantastic layout/banners as usual. Here are the songs I like from the summer set.
"Skyscraper", "I Wanna Go", "Up All Night", "White Elephant" and "If I Die Young."
Do you want more? Let's continue with my favs from the Spring set.
"You Are A Tourist", "Second Chance", "Bright Lights Brighter City."
As the seasons close, you have yet another strong set.
Very happy to see Pistol Annies included! That's my favourite of the set. I also really like Beady Eye, Beyonce, Clarkson, The Roots. I have yet to hear the Kate Bush album, though I think I have it downloaded. Need to dig that out. Plus, your comment on Electra Heart has me very interested, as that is truly something not on my radar at all. I like to expand my radar! The true saying is expand my boundaries, but I wanted to tie in the radar talk, which turned it into nonsense. What a mess!
Anyway, the point: Your albums are coming! And I can't wait to read what you've chosen!
Winter: "Hold It Against Me", "Bang Bang Bang" which was my #100 last year, "Dance With The Devil", "Coming Home" Spring: "Till The World Ends", "You Are A Tourist", "Second Chance", "White Nights", "Go", wow didn't know about new Regina stuff this year, "Helena Beat". I discovered Lenka this year, gotta check her new material. Summer: "I Wanna Go", "My Mistakes" (this song almost made my list), "Crystalline", "White Elephant" Fall: "Millionaire", "We Found Love", "Video Games"
Great to remember all the good music stuff season by season, but here the seasons are upside down
Thanks everyone! If you want to take a trip back in time, I updated the first post of this thread with a look back at every one of my year-end lists going back to 2003. My first thought: Where have all the rock bands gone?
I'm hopeful that the lack of TVOTR means that they'll be on the actual list.
And hey, so much good stuff. So much.

Look who's back! Bush took 8 years off while Bush was president. Coincidence?
Clearly, Dubya didn't want those British rapscallions to run around and be more important than he is, since, you know, he was the President. That bastard.
I don't like ballads, but Video Games is amazing
