The Lawrentian

Issue date: 1/25/08 Section: Opinions & Editorials

Frankly, I was a little disappointed with the article on the year's top music. I had no problem with people's picks, just the fact that four separate lists were made up of essentially the same indie taste. I didn't see a single hip-hop, punk, or metal pick on these lists even though there was plenty of great music from these genres this year. Jay-Z, Against Me! and Queens Of The Stone Age all put out highly acclaimed albums, and none of this was recognized by the lists in The Lawrentian. I think it's great that music is actively discussed in The Lawrentian, but I think that if there is going to be serious list on the best music of an entire year, it needs to be a bit more eclectic. What good does it do readers to see the same lists four times?
