Agreed. I saw them on that final tour. US Maple opened (ugh) and then Pavement kept the crowd waiting for AN HOUR AND A HALF after US Maple. When they finally deigned to appear, Malkmus shamelessly admitted that they had been backstage watching the NCAA finals. What an ass. But I will see them if they come near to me on this reunion tour, because I am a sucka.

"Surfer Rosa," hands down -- especially if it is paired with the "Come On, Pilgrim" EP, as it was for some early releases.

Everyone please stop complaining. The Amazon editors who put this together obviously know what they are talking about. Maybe you have never personally asked yourself the question, "What is the only indie rock record that is better than 'The Last Match' and yet worse than 'The Ugly Organ'?" but clearly the only even semi-plausible answer is "The Sea and the Bells." So get over yourselves.

Because I would like many many ups, I will also voice my disdain for Vivian Girls' inclusion on this list: "Vivian Girls? WTFuck?"

Well said, ariel80s.
Yes, the history of these two peoples is long and complex. But can any impartial person really believe that Israel would not lay down its arms and live in peace if Hamas were to do the same? Israel is consistently acting in self-defense. Hamas is consistently acting from a racist hatred of all Jews everywhere and the desire to destroy Israel -- a hatred and a desire that are widespread in the Muslim world. The only reason that anyone is even still alive in Gaza is that Israelis have a conscience--they don't want to kill any more non-combatants than necessary. If Hamas had access to the same weapons as Israel, they would use them to demolish every Jew they could find, women and children included.

I completely agree about Gentleman Jesse. Really surprised by that album's absence. It was one of my five favorite albums of the year, and Pitchfork reviewed it very positively, too. Tons of great songs worthy of places on this list, with the standout probably being "Highland Crawler." (Happily I'm going to see Gentleman Jesse and his men play a Christmas show tomorrow night!)

Why are there only six comments on this thread? RHOA > everything else there is, period (except for "Bromance," duh).

In a world... where sometimes people refer to fictional covered places just to try to make other people feel foolish for a couple of seconds, one man will refuse to ask the question on everyone else's lips... "Under Where?"

That description applies equally well to the current season of "Real Housewives of Atlanta."

I can't even pay attention to any of this, I'm still so freaked out about Mackenzie Phillips. (Oh my fucking God, Mackenzie Phillips, what the hell.)
