A list of lists

What's a girl to do when stuck at work the eve of Christmas Eve? Search for "Best of" lists of course. Here are all the music-related lists I found worthy of telling you about:

Pitchfork has a long list of its favourite 50 albums AND 50 singles. These guys really love discussing music.

CBC Radio 3 lists their Top 20 in new Canadian music. Complete with sound samples. God, I love this site.

Umbrella Music's staff pick their favourites, which aren't very surprising (Arcade Fire, Feist, DFA1979, etc.) and Howard Druckman picks the best singles.

RollingStone's 50 Best Albums are listed alphabetically (no countdown), but the magazine includes Canadian twins, Tegan and Sara's So Jealous and call them "Stars in Canada," which is slightly exaggerated but cool nonetheless.

Emm Gryner crowned Feist's Let It Die as her #1 album of the year, and then changed her mind and replaced it with Tegan and Sara.

NOW's staff takes a jab at this year's music jems: Lists by Sarah Liss, Michael Hollett and Tim Perlich. The staff also lists 20 of the best albums out of Toronto.

Across town, Eye gives its thumbs up and down to the best and worst shows of the year and Toronto things which includes props to three of my favourite bloggers (Zolius, Wherry and Chromewaves).

Spin only gives us a taste of its list. They want you to pay for their magazine. Pfft.

Chart's staff mix up albums with concerts and videos. Who said you couldn't compare apples and oranges?
