Merry listmas all you girls and boys. This is the magical time of the year where every magazine and website and 'zine and whatever come out with their universal list of the coolest songs, albums, hairdos and shows of the year.

I know you wanted to leave your bourbon and cookies out for all the fat little elves dropping lists down your chimney but it starts to become overwhelming after a while. Too many lists and so many of them 50 or 100 deep lists with explanations to boot?

Wow.

Sure there is the Pitchfork Top 50 Albums and there is the Spin Top 50 Albums or what about the NME Top 50 Albums of 2011 or while I am linking to Stereogum they have a list too here Stereogum Top 50 Albums. Also, on edit, MrModernRock's first comment reminded that Hearya came out with Hearya's Best of Album list for 2011 as well which has a bit more folk or Americana influence.

This is not even listing Uncut or Q or Paste's Top 50 album lists. …

I should have got to this number a bit earlier, but better later than never. The changes are not as big as before, the TOP 5 Is still dominated by Velvet Undergorund and Lou Reed but I started to listen to more "rocky" sort of music this explains the Pink Floyd and the REM presence in the top 5.
So what's next? This autumn I discovered (I know, i know... very late!) Echo & The Bunnymen, Suede and Jesus And The Mary Chain.

See you in a couple of years... or maybe earlier
