I find it astounding how both you're comments about a band like TV On The Radio are the most childish, immature, and imbecilic collection of thoughts made to look like an actual opinion. I would tell you guys to get off your high horse but I can tell you both don't have one.

you're overthinking it. also, how is dedicating even more space to these bands, even to take a piss, an apology? you know what would make up for shitty weekly rags covering shitty flavor of the week bands over local music? covering local music. boom.

      <![CDATA[I think these lists act as an apology for the horseshit nature of music writing and writers.  Like: Sorry we ran weekly articles about Vampire Weekend for 8 months straight.  We kinda got caught up in a thing and acted more like their PR rep than objective music journalists.  Oh, and sorry to the local bands who didn't get album reviews or show mentions because we ran out of time and/or space.  Our bad.<br />
<br />
What I want to see is a list of the 20 best 'Hipster' bands.  I'm with Sean on the confusion around that nebulous label.  I have always been given to understand that it denotes a person who places undo importance on conforming to the leading edge of fashion and affectation, without any adherence to a particular aesthetic or ethos.  So, a band may be made up of 'hipsters', or may appeal to 'hipsters', but since that label doesn't connote any particular sound or way of making music, (or more accurately that sound has changed with changing fashion over the last 75+ years that the term has been around) it is hard for there to be 'hipster' music description that holds any water.
