Much as I love Gorilla vs Bear lists & Magdalena Bay the fact that they appear to be heavily linked with the no.1 through Luminelle may raise questions over the objectivity criteria.

I feel like this debate comes up every year but hope that GvB still counts as they always have excellent under-the-radar stuff on their list. I'm not sure why Magdalena Bay hasn't gotten any attention from other critics so far, I thought their album was a bit of a breakthrough and they have several songs that are among the best of the year in my opinion.

They claim to have a list of 30 songs when the dual Burial appearance clearly brings it to 31, what a bunch of chumps, am I right?

But seriously, I really hope "Strawberry" shows up on more lists!
