Merry Christmas, Haters

HANK ALTOGETHER: A little present from the WeListenforYou offices just in time for you to link it and send it to your hater friends and family.

Now everyone loves to pick on indie rock juggernaut Pitchfork, but this time, we have conclusive proof that someone is asleep at the wheel over there. A perusal of the Individual Best of 2007 lists shows this:

>> Brian Howe
1. The Field: From Here We Go Sublime
2. LCD Soundsystem: Sound of Silver
3. Eluvium: Copia
4. Devin the Dude: Waitin' to Inhale
5. Jens Lekman: Night Falls Over Kortedala
6. Kanye West: Graduation
7. Radicalfashion: Odori
8. Burial: Untrue
9. Lil Wayne: Da Drought 3
10. Grizzly Bear: Friend EP
11. Radiohead: In Rainbows
12. BC Camplight: Blink of a Nihilist
13. Simian Mobile Disco: Attack Decay Sustain Release
14. !!!: Myth Takes
15. A-Trak: Dirty South Dance
16. Matthew Dear: Asa Breed
17. Dan Deacon: Spiderman of the Rings
18. Gui Boratto: Chromophobia
19. CocoRosie: Noah's Ark
20. M.I.A.: Kala
21. Junior Boys: Dead Horse EP
22. Life Without Buildings: Live at the Annandale Hotel
23. Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Is Is EP
24. Library Tapes: Höstluft
25. Feist: The Reminder

This rang a little odd to me, so I looked it up...yep...CocoRosie's album Noah's Ark was released in 2005. Now, granted those ultra-hip speak-and-spell users did put out a record this year entitled The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn. "TAGS" garnered a 2.3 rating slightly less than the 3.4 rating from time-traveling Noah's Ark.

A little vetting, please, Pitchfork. And Marry Christmas, Haters.
