End of the Year Lists

It's almost that time of the year when all the major music magazines collapse on themselves and release their "Best Of" lists, inciting rage with most of their readers. So far we've been able to take a look at Paste Magazine's Modest Top 50 List, and Blender's chap of crap Top 33.
