These lists were released the same week as their 50 Best Albums of the Decade (and none of these albums made their top 50). The metal list was compiled by one writer and the electronic music list was compiled by two writers, so I think it makes both lists ineligible...but its worth a look if you're a fan of either genre.

Is this an A.V. Club list, or an Onion article?
