Listing the lists, pt.1:

::indieblogheaven give a good old festive kicking to their Top 10 Turkeys...

::while 50quidbloke reflects on 'the 30 songs I've most enjoyed listening to this year regardless of when they came out,' and also on the mellowing effect of having a baby about the place. (Following this line, surely nothing can stop The Innocence Mission's pending new release from topping this list next year?!)

::One of the popsheep herd also goes for the individual songs approach: 'This was going to be a list of my favorite songs of the year, but it started to get too long..so it's my favorite songs that are also condusive to spastic dancing around my apartment...'

::Indie blogger greywillfade assures us that his reasoned Top 50 contains purely 'albums that hit my gut.. not swayed by what is cool in the indie crowd, or who is listening to what, or any such nonsense'. Er, way to go, matey...

::A couple of Irish guys reflect over at foreverchanges...

::And the staff at the Rough Trade shops offer up their annual whopper, the Top 100. Hmmm, the record at no.1.. remind me again, chaps, which label would that be on? Ah yes, of course...
