bLISTerd: The 100 Best Albums Of The ’00s (100-91)
We’re in 2012. Is it too early for ‘00s nostalgia? Oh, the first decade of the new millennium. The decade we were introduced to the iPod, the smart phone, texting and all sorts of technological advances that have made us incredibly lazy beings. We decided to start voting for our pop stars on TV, Janet Jackson torpedoed her career by showing us a nipple, and Mariah Carey went crazy and then made a comeback (but she’s still crazy). Oh, and […]
bLISTerd: The Popblerd Staff Presents The Best Music of 2011…And Some Playlists!!
We’ve spent much of the past week looking back at the year that was, with many of the writers on staff posting their lists of their 11 favorite albums of 2011. Everything from indie rock to hip-hop got mentioned, and every writer that contributed an individual list (and a couple that didn’t) ranked their albums. Those rankings were then compiled and the result…a quick and dirty list of the site’s 40 favorite albums of the year. Suck it, Billboard! 1) […]
bLISTerd Presents: Mike A’s Top 11 Albums of 2011
I think I listened to more new albums in 2011 than any other year of my life. Between searching for quality releases to review for my own blog and being asked to contribute to Popblerd!, my quest to find new music easily took me through a few hundred albums. Some I couldn’t make it past more than a couple songs before I knew it wasn’t for me. There were plenty of disappointments and yes, I’m looking at you Coldplay. Some […]

bLISTerd Presents: Tom’s Top 11 Albums of 2011
My favorites jumped around a lot this year but the two at the top– despite one’s “newness”– are easily ahead of the rest. 2011 wasn’t the best year ever for music, but it produced a small number of records that I really like. *1. Foo Fighters, Wasting Light I called this my record of the year halfway through 2011. “If there is a better second half of the year release I’ll console myself with that hypothetically brain-punchingly excellent album.” Bands get sharper […]
bLISTerd Presents: Big Money’s Top 11 Albums of 2011
2011 was a weird year for me musically. There was certainly a wealth of good music released this year. I can remember as recently as 2007 or 2008, struggling to find 20 albums to fill a list. This year, not so much of a problem. An interesting cast of old reliables and young bucks stepped up to the plate and delivered this year, and there were also a couple of noteworthy comebacks and collaborations. Initially, I had these albums ranked, […]
bLISTerd Presents: GG’s Top 11 Albums of 2011
I’ve become very good at buying music these days. I rarely dislike anything I purchase, but that is a problem. With the ability to sample nearly anything and everything before I buy, my taste has become so narrowed down. Thus, my list is probably the most predictable list of all. But I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. The great thing about music is that it’s so subjective. You like what you like. I don’t listen to music as much […]
bLISTerd Presents: Brittany’s Top 11 Albums of 2011
Okay, I’ll admit it- I didn’t listen to a lot of music released this year. I can’t really explain why- I think partially it was because I was listening to some of the albums released last year still (because Sufjan Stevens’ Age of Adz is still my favorite from 2010), and the other reason is probably because I tend to procrastinate when it comes to buying/listening to new albums anyway. For example: Bon Iver’s self-titled release (which is on the […]
