We’re not so worried about getting swallowed up by lists as we are about blind lists in a room full of deaf musicians. Still, the Voice Pazz Jop<\/A> is out, and here’s a bunch that tend to overlap with mine, meaning those I’ll poach for stuff to check out [alphabetical, since we’re trolling for blurbs, ahem], meaning, these are all very close personal friends, we gab about music all the time. What’s fun about it though is that you can browse around former disfavored editor’s lists and curse them in the night for overlapping at all with your good taste. Also, catch once mighty ears falling for piffle. For the bonus round, click on any album title, such as ELECTRIC VERSION anywhere it appears, and go to this<\/A> page to see those who dumped oodles of hard-won credibility on it, too. Using this method, we find that only three of us chose Dave Holland’s EXTENDED PLAY: LIVE AT BIRDLAND, which is a travesty. Ken Micaleff<\/A> and Tony Tranfa<\/A> are suddenly long lost brothers (But soft! Tranfa leads with Sarah McLachlan and includes Dan Fogelberg! Fie on’t!):


\nVince Aletti<\/A>

\nJoe Gross<\/A>

\nKeith Harris<\/A>
Still Owes me for that friggin’ BALDIE compilation I made for him.

\nSasha Frere-Jones<\/A>

\nTom Hull<\/A>

\nJoe Levy<\/A>

\nGreil Marcus<\/A>
Whose first entry is a bizarrely overlooked Gallowsbird’s Bark FIERY FURNACES, which Mark LaPore sent along just as the year closed, and it’s very tasty. His second two entries, Natalie Merchant and Jon Mellencamp, inexplicable. Chalk it up to Counting Crowes fever.

\nMichaelangelo Mato<\/A>

\nLeland Rucker<\/A>

\nRob Sheffield<\/A>

\nKen Tucker<\/A>

\nStephanie Zacharek<\/A> (the Stephinator…)

\nMilo Miles<\/A>

\nAnd for those of you just clicking through, some sites that makes you go “bling-bling”: List of Bests<\/A> and Recordnerd<\/A> and Fast’n’Bulbous<\/A> and the granddaddy, Julian’s Rock List<\/A>.


\nFinally, these folks<\/A> take home an extra cookie. Cheers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
