Is anyone doing something to aggregate all the different top ten/whatever lists? Ryan did it on Good Hodgkins last year and it was interesting reading. I like stats. I'm not even sure what's got the most number ones yet - lhb has a LOT to go through.
I would do it, I just can't be bothered. -
pretty sure heart on a stick is doing it. i actually stole his thunder when i did my mid-year one, but i wasn't aware of his site at the time.
-
yeah, hoas has already started compiling.
-
Am hoping to have the first one up Monday, then to update weekly through mid-January.
-
That's awesome. I can't wait to see how many people put some really awful music on their list. Like me.
-
Coolio. Lists are just the best.

Shooting for Wednesday, now. Apologies. But it's everyone's fault for not listing the same ten titles (up to 748 different records, so far). C'mon, bloggers! You know that bloggers only blog about blog bands! Stick to the designated blog bands!
Sympathy for the Record Industry doesn't have "buy" links. They have a print-out mail-order form. Genius.
While waiting, I suggest you spend all your time at JimH's blog. It's fucking fascinating.

Working theory: Year-end best-of (and worst-of) lists were originally invented by slacker newspaper writers to lighten the holiday workload, later aided and abetted by the sleazy record industry to move this year's back catalog off the shelves. The whole enterprise was codified into a truly pretentious and asinine activity by the Village Voice and Robert Christgau with their Annual (and Fucking Ponderous) Pazz and Jop Poll.
My guess for the top 3 - Newsom, Cookie Mountain and Grizzly Bear? Oh, wait, where will Cat Power rank? The suspense slays. -
Lighten the load? LIGHTEN THE LOAD? Are you fucking kidding me? I spent all weekend working on the things. Then again I am indecisive and do like to blah blah blah. But I dunno Jim, summing up the year is way harder than writing a regular ole blog post. I would've skipped the whole thing if I hadn't received several emails from friends who probably don't even read the blog on a regular basis, but were really excited for The List.

I’ll be updating the monster periodically through mid-January, though I’d sort of like to get off my oppinion and get my life back. At the very least I'd like to get back to work on my other blog.
*cough* -
And, seriously, J, someone here has got to have the skillz to make it a real, live, robust working site with crosslinks like Pazz and Jop.
I've got some rusty PHP and MySQL skills, but, I'm afraid, not enough time to devote to something like this. -
Ryan, want to include me in the spreadsheet? :)
-
i think it'd be great if "Ryan's Spreadsheet" was the Web-era sequel to the soap opera "Ryan's Hope."
-
OK - I ap-ap-ap-ologize for my earlier snarky remarks - that's a pretty neat page heart-stick and way better than reading the individual blogs lists that made up the aggregation... I'll be linking to it next chance -- anything to annoy Pazz and Jop and Idolator's lame copycat poll.
-
Long past due, but: Ryan's Spreadsheet is done. Well, it's up, at least. I capped out at 640 Top Ten Lists, 1421 CD titles. It's not user-friendly and it looks like a 19th-century goat turd. But hey, that's how I roll.
(There goes New Year's Resolution #1.)
Anyway, feel free to swing by; do let me know if you find any errors. Other than its overall unnavagababblillity or its looking like a 19th-century goat turd. (or the Alexi Murdoch/Calexico thing; I'm on that)
-
This isn't technically about Ryan's Spreadsheet, but: Pazz/Jop came out Wednesday (you knew that) and Glenn McDonald has combined the P/J and Jackin' Pop results: Huzzah!
-
So it's official that TVoR album is best of 2006 album?
btw, this poll is also nice. I like it a lot (pretty much saying the same thing on top, with some variation)

I'm not going to be able to do Ryan's Spreadsheet, this year. If someone else decides to dive in, let me know, and I'll send the flock your way.
-
I am tempted to, but between digging for the online music lists and getting ready to move, I just don't have the time right now.
-
i'm feeling really sad about this, because two years ago, the bloggregate was key to my finding blogs and music and even starting my own blog. *sigh*
