pity that. But it seems my taste can not be trusted. Just got todays NME with the top fifty albums of the year list. Only two of my top five, if i had to choose, the mark lanegan and the Fugazi actually appeared. The others, the pernice brothers, the avalanches, and the arnold album all completely failed to appear. So, I guess you can't trust my taste afterall. Having said that, they did put the strokes at number one, so I don't know whose taste is worst (It's not bad - but it's not really album of the year material.).
