Anybody knows how is the RYM top 100 list compiled?
Is it based on user ratings or user lists or a combination of the two? Thanks.

The New Spin Doctors
These guys don't get nearly as much credit as they deserve -- maybe some people view them as a one hit wonder, but they're actual players, great musicians. I was listening to some songs on this link I got from Universal, and the blues tracks alone reinforce my idea....

Art Brut
I recall Art Brut being in the top ten in 2002 even though their debut album isn't released here in the states until 2006. How was that possible and what happened to them? How did they go from being in the top ten to not even charting?

Everyone go to metercritic.com and look up Modest Mouse's Moon and Antarctica. Spin named it one of the best albums of the past 20 years but here it proves that they are total hypocrits because they only gave the record a 3 out of 10. Spin is such a cop out.
