O NME consegue por exemplo a proeza de deixar de fora os Animal Collective, que estao com 'Merryweather Post Pavillion' na Uncut, Paste e na Pitchfork que os repetem com 'Sung Tongs'. E aquele maravilhoso 'Feels', album do ano para o Publico à altura? 3 grandes albuns e nem uma chamada? Hum...E esse estranho adorar da figura de Pete Doherty, pelo mesmo NME? Os dois albuns de Libertines e ainda o de Babbyshambles? Por favor...
Ha nomes que parecem unânimes: Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Wilco, White Stripes, The Strokes...
Os Lcd Soundsystem no entanto não conseguem melhor que um 12º lugar, mesmo estando em todas as listas? Parece-me pouco.
Esperemos por outras listas e pensemos nas nossas...

As listas são relativas, movidas por sentimentos relativos, em momentos relativos. São como o tempo, relativas, infinitas e geridas por cada qual, como cada qual o melhor entenda.
