Re: Les Inrockuptibles (FR) EOY 2010

I like it this year ! My 3 favorites are in the top 20 (Midlake, Katerine, Monae).
I think les Inrocks are getting better !!

Re: Les Inrockuptibles (FR) EOY 2010

Same as every year, they have some very interesting picks, some obvious ones too, but they also root for bands they would stick with whatever they release (see MGMT at #2 or NERD #9).
On the other hand, Kanye West ended in their top 20 for his 4 previous albums and is here only ranked 51...
Any Libertines member could record himself pooing, he would still get a spot in any Inrocks top 50 too...
