Music's secret weapons. Phil Manzanera (Plays guitar for Roxy Music) Tim Finn - Before and After (1993) The elder of the Finn brothers has been slightly overshadowed by his younger brother's melodies and turn of phrase. However, Tim is a singular talent in his own right. Starting out as the lead singer with Split Enz, this antipodean with Irish roots is strong on all the essentials: he's a great songwriter and vocalist. Alexis Taylor (One part of indie-dancers Hot Chip) Alex Chilton - Like Flies on Sherbert (1979) It was the first album he made after leaving Big Star and it's generally thought of as a massive disappointment. Kieran Hebden (Makes folk music with laptops as Four Tet) Gary Davis & His Professor - Untitled (1982) Gary Davis was from New Jersey and he made really raw experimental disco. Sway (Mobo-winning UK rapper) Suga Free - Street Gospel (1997) He's a real-life pimp from California. Dave Eggers (Literary trendsetter, postmodern memoirist) Beulah - The Coast Is Never Clear (2001)

Top 20 Albums of 2005 | crazymonk.org. Instead of linking to yet another "Best of... " list, I've decided to make my own. Compiling a list of the best albums of any year always involves some amount of arbitrariness -- there simply is no healthy way for one person to listen to all the potentially great albums that have been released in a single year. Nevertheless, I do find myself hearing quite a few of them, so even if I was superhuman enough to listen to every release in every genre, I think the below list would be a close approximation to the True Top 20. So without further ado: 20. Bloc Party -- Silent Alarm Recently, the musical style of Bloc Party, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, etc. began to run together for me -- something about those single-driven poppy choruses and similar vocal styles reaching back to the early 80's.
But Silent Alarm doesn't have to be original to be enjoyable, and enjoyable it is with one fun track after another. 19. 18. 17. 16. 15. 14. 13. 12. 11. 10. 09. 08. 07. 06. 05. 04. 03. 01.

Our Year in Music 2010 coverage has featured our Top 100 Tracks, Top Music Videos, the Year in Photos, our Best of Pitchfork.tv, the Best of Pitchfork News, and the Worst Album Covers of the year. Yesterday, we had the Albums of the Year 2010: Honorable Mention, our list of 20 great albums that didn't make our album list, and today and tomorrow, we'll be counting down the Top 50 proper.
We start today with Nos. 50-21, tomorrow is the Top 20.

This is our third readers' poll. Once again, we had more than 30,000 responses. This feature is always particularly interesting for the Pitchfork staff, especially as a point of comparison with our year-end coverage.
There are always both a lot of overlap and some intriguing differences. Here's how it broke down.

Last year, right around the time summer turned to fall, we at Stereogum published our list of the 40 best new bands of the year.
The idea of a “new” band is a pretty nebulous one, since many of the kids we listed were probably planning out their musical ventures in their basements since they were 11, but these were all artists who started to make a dent in our collective consciousness last year. This year, we’ve got another crop of 40 new artists who deserve your attention. So here we go again. A few clarifications are probably in order. This may be a Best New Bands list, but plenty of the people on it aren’t new, and plenty of the artists listed aren’t bands. Also, the word “best” is, as ever, entirely up for debate. We’re not ranking these artists; they’re all listed alphabetically below.

Be sure to check out yesterday's list of Honorable Mentions. Beyond that, we've had the Top 100 Tracks, The Year in Photos, The Best of Pitchfork.tv, The Worst Album Covers, and The Top Music Videos.
We won't have any record reviews in the next two weeks but we will be updating with Guest List: Best of 2011, The Year in News, The Pitchfork Guide to New Year's Eve, and other features, news, tracks, and videos. Thanks for reading Pitchfork this year and we'll return to reviews and regular updates on January 3rd. 50. At first, you feel kind of embarrassed for Trevor Powers: Sure, he's just a kid from Boise, but doesn't he realize what he's up against in 2011?

(One of them, pictured, is called Jamboxx.)
Shahin Edalati, ACD, Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners Wondering how we listen to music in 2011? This year, we couldn't sit still. To round out the year, NPR Music put together a mix with 100 of these favorite songs. This year was all about blurring the lines between genres, which seemed inevitable in a field over-saturated with sub, and sub-sub-sub classifications of type. And perhaps above all, artists in 2011 wanted you to dance.
There's no way this list could include everything we liked, and it's probable we've left off a song that meant something to you. 10/10 Ensemble, "Fiji"A 17-minute sashay through composer Michael Torke's deliriously colorful, imaginary tropical landscape. Alabama Shakes, "Hold On"Neil Young called it "ragged glory" — the sound of a band getting it together right before your ears. Battles, "Ice Cream" (feat. Drake, "Take Care" (feat. The Top 10 Records of 2011. Editors' note: We asked Jon Young, the intrepid critic who covers music for the print version of Mother Jones—a MoJo gift subscription, by the way, is truly a steal—to name the 10 best albums he's reviewed this year. Here, in no particular order, are those 10 reviews, each honing in on a single song.
We also included the rest of Jon's 2011 magazine picks. 1. "Heartaches and Pain" from Charles Bradley's No Time for Dreaming (Daptone) Liner notes: The searing ballad that closes this stunning debut recalls the bleak moment when the singer's brother was shot and killed by his nephew. Behind the music: Part of the new wave of gifted soul revivalists affiliated with Brooklyn's Daptone Records (home of Sharon Jones), Bradley took a roundabout route to his first album.

PJ Harvey: Let England Shake Het valt niet vaak voor dat je al na één luisterbeurt beseft: plaat van het jaar, en helemaal niet als die plaat al in februari verschijnt.
Twintig jaar nadat PJ Harvey zichzelf met het studentenkamersingletje ‘Dress’ op de indierockkaart zette, kroont ze zichzelf op ‘Let England Shake’ tot koningin, met folkrockongs die voortjakkeren in de modderige loopgraven van de Eerste Wereldoorlog, maar toch branden van de hoop.
