metacritic (best-reviews-average-ness) year-end list
how many of these have you heard? http://www.metacritic.com/music/bests/2008.shtml
I think I've only investigated a little over half of them. Kinda shows how 'old' most journalists are. Would be curious to see a breakdown of just reviews from web publications or being able to eliminate certain mags, is there any site which does this? am putting on my business plan hat if not.
