I'm currently working on my annual top 50 and I'll try and bust it out before the new year. I always like to try and get it out before Pitchfork's just so people don't make the obvious "you just listen to what Pitchfork tells you to!!!!"

As someone with, apparently, poor taste in music I am interested in seeing your lists and giving them a try. Please post more.

[Weiser Wonder]

Boys and Girls in America was a 2006 release I thought.

[troutman]

Thanks Hakan. I have most of those CDs.

fredr123 - when I do make my compilations I'll post the playlists here, and if you have been good this year, I will burn you a couple of CDs.

And metal chicks are hot

My favorite is Karin (Collide - not exactly metal though)

[CaptainCrunch]

Quick throw water on her, she'll melt.

I have to say, I have never heard of most of these bands.

And where are the "Light of Doom" fans here.

[troutman]

How about another Karen? Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs:
