Fourteen in Ten in '10
Ah 2010. The year of the double rainbow, and that Old Spice guy. And countless other vague and fading memories. But before we put 2010 to bed completely, we thought we’d roundup some of the Top 10 lists we were featured on in 2010. Because come on, you Google yourself too, right?
“This Too Shall Pass” and “White Knuckles” made it onto Best Song lists at MTV and Metroactive.
The Chicagoist and Copious Notes included “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky” on their Best Album lists.
Colorado Daily listed our October 6th show in their Best Concert List.
And Billboard, Canoe, Culture Bully, The Muse in Music, Reel Seo, Rolling Stone, Spinner, and Time all put the Rube Goldberg Machine version of “This Too Shall Pass” on their Top Video lists.
Know of any others? Leave them in the comments…
Update: We managed to break rule number one, which clearly states “before you ever post anything ever, check with your boardies first.” They have compiled a thorough list of top ten lists on the message board. So check it out there…
if Brazilian websites count, there’s this one (well, there’s lots, but this is more legit I think) http://www.territoriodamusica.com/artigos/?c=990
they’ve chosen it to the top 15 records of the year. and the review for it is very good BUT I won’t translate it here so I don’t look like I’m trying to be a smart ass.
Congrats on all the good reviews! You do deserve ‘em all.
“White Knuckles” is on PopMatters’ best songs list, and a few of the videos made the top list there too; OTBCOTS and “White Knuckles” are in various lists for the Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll; there’s a thread on the forum collecting several mentions of OK Go and many other accolades abound, including those in which I wasn’t personally involved, as well.
Dudes, we’re, like, totally on this.
Here’s the link to that thread that Christel mentioned:
