SomePeopleThink Top 10 Albums of the Year Can Be Explained with 10 or Less Words Each
December 28, 2010 1 Comment
So I have been reading all the year end top 10 lists and I think it is time to throw mine in the ring with the experts. But I am gonna one up them. They spend hours writing their long narratives on why one is better than the other but nobody cares or even agrees with them about. In response, my top 10 will only be accompanied by 10 (or so) words or less on the thoughts each album immediately put in my head. SomePeopleThink is for the people and we aren’t here to waste your time, start the debate:
10. Rick Ross- Teflon Don
“Remember when this guy used to suck? Still fat though”
9. Broken Bells- Broken Bells
“Cool, the guy from the Shins and Jew from Gnarls Barkley”
8. Sleigh Bells- Treats
“This is really loud but I can’t turn it down”
7. Best Coast- Crazy for You
“This song is catcy. So is this one. Look at that cat”
6. Mumford and Sons- Sigh No More
“I am definitely a Little Lion Man.”
5. The Arcade Fire- Suburbs
“How many people are in this fucking group? Noises everywhere”
4. Janelle Monae- The ArchAndroid
“It’s cool to put every different genre on one album”
3. Vampire Weekend- Contra
“I would never hang out with them but I love them”
2. The Black Keys- Brothers
“OMG, this actually might be better than what Kanye is gonna put out in December”
1. Kanye West- My Beautiful Dark twisted Fantasy
“Sorry Black Keys, this album can’t be touched”

There’s a lot of amazing stuff on this list: Broken Bells, Sleigh Bells, Best Coast, Arcade Fire, Black Keys. But could you explain how Kanye nabbed number 1 on almost every list I’ve seen? I just don’t understand his appeal. Is it because he’s a jerk, or in spite of the fact?
