Going for Mastodon over Scott Walker just because I think Scott will get plenty of ILM votes that the former wont.

Seriously? I had the Who album in the first top 10 list I submitted to a publication last year, and even I think that's a kind of ridiculous statement.
OK, Endless Wire wasn't better than Fox Confessor, Fishscale, Modern Times, or The Drift BY FAR, but it certainly sits comfortably in that company. And there was no more socially awkward record than Endless Wire released in 2006. It's like their version of Jerry Lewis' Hardly Working, when film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum characterized Lewis as "infantile, hysterical, uncontrolled, giddy, uninhibited, tacky, energetic, inarticulate, obnoxious, sentimental, overbearing, socially and sexually maladjusted, and all over the place... It's not so much a matter of necessarily loving all these qualities as it is envying or admiring or identifying with some of them and being horrified by others."

Didn't see this. Would have given another point to Girl Talk, although I would have voted Timberlake at the time. The Ghostface & T.I. albums are great, too. Most of this: zzzzz.

Didn't see this until now, and it's possible there hasn't been a P&J year with fewer albums I care about (which is odd, both because I like tons of albums from 2006, and because I assume -- given that the list is drawn from both polls -- that there are more than 40 albums to choose from this time.)
I would have picked Hold Steady, then Lily Allen, though I didn't hear her album until it came out in the U.S. in '07 (and it won't make my top ten list this year, though it came close.) Runner-ups would be Justin Timberlake and the Dixie Chicks and the Clipse, all of which I've got reservations about.
Still have never heard either Girl Talk or that Lil Wayne mix tape. (I have heard Burial now though! Though they are not up there; didn't they come close? And though I didn't hear their '06 album yet; only their new one. Which kind of sounds like early Faithless with the songs taken out. Which is okay, though I don't get what's supposed to make them amazing.) (Though I guess people who loved the first one think the new one is a sellout? Not sure though.)
Maybe I should go back and listen to Hot Chip again someday. (Ghostface Killah and T.I. and Mastadon never seemed anywhere near as good to me as everybody seemed to be saying they were. I vaguely remember thinking Love Is All weren't awful.)

fwiw, xhuxk, the first Burial did nothing for me whatsoever. I like the new one alright, probably for the same reasons fans of the first one hate it.
