IL's Top 40 Bands in America Today
Information Leafblower posted their blog poll of the top bands in America. It's a strange list that could be more aptly titled "Top 40 Bands in America That East Coast Bloggers and Pitchfork Obsessed Over in 2005." That said, blogger obsession number one, "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah," are strangely not on the list. We obsessed about them too this year, because they're damn good. The National secured the number two spot on the list. Come on guys, they're just not that exciting. Fiery Furnaces also secured a top spot when they would be better served with a stern punishment. Their 2004 release Rehearsing My Choir is unlistenable. And the king of hype, Kanye West, got a top billing since indie kids have to always include a hip hop artist to be well-rounded. There were also the obligatory ironic choices like Kelly Clarkson. That said, it's a decent overview of today's top indie bands put together by most of our favorite bloggers, One Louder and Brooklyn Vegan are impeccable. Best of all, the list correctly put Sufjan in the number one spot, where he should be. On another note, we were sad to see Of Montreal, The Shins, Deerhoof, Will Oldham, Grizzly Bear, Chad Vangaalen, nearly all metal bands, and any electronic band not associated with DFA excluded. Check out the full list here.

Gonna disagree about The National. They're the best thing going right now. Bar none.
If you haven't, check 'em out. They're not for kids, this is seriously great music for emotionally unstable grown ups with lives.
