Merci pour ces listes, ça donne des idées de découvertes. En général, je ne suis jamais d'accord, mais il y a parfois d'excellentes surprises et des vrais bons albums qu'on retient.

D'un autre côté, entre les tops à rallonge (un top 100, c'est quand même un peu beaucoup large) et les décalages de sorties qui font apparaître des albums sortis en octobre 2013, y a à boire et à manger.

Après, globalement, on voit ressortir des tendances.

Oui, c'est l’intérêt de ces listes. Le classement individuel importe peu, mais la répétition d'un même titre peut pousser à la découverte.

[AtCloseRange]

Ces tops sont totalement déprimants...

[Karras]

Ces tops sont totalement déprimants...

C'est vrai que ça manque un peu de "Life is a Minestrone"

[hellrick]

Je ne connais pas un groupe de ces tops, jamais entendu ça à la radio

Même dans les top metal j'en connais un sur 10 et l'album d'At the Gates quoique sympa ne m'a pas transcendé

[aurelien86]

Chaque année, les mêmes rabâchent la même chose... ça, c'est déprimant.
Personnellement, je dois connaitre au moins 75 % des groupes cités.

[AtCloseRange]

Chaque année, les mêmes rabâchent la même chose... ça, c'est déprimant.

Tu veux parler des groupes?
Je suis bien d'accord

[tenia]

Je ne connais pas un groupe de ces tops, jamais entendu ça à la radio

Même dans les top metal j'en connais un sur 10 et l'album d'At the Gates quoique sympa ne m'a pas transcendé

A peu de choses près, la plupart rejoignent ce que j'ai lu passer sur le net (Pitchfork, AV Club, Metacritic, forums) : The War On Drugs, St Vincent, Future Islands, First Aid Kit, Mac DeMarco, etc.

Meme sur les specialistes metal, globalement, pas de surprise (Yob, Behemoth, Pallbearer, Agalloch, etc).
