wait ur tlkng bout the academy is??

wtf the academy is? im talking about the alchemy index. if you think your music is the only type of real music then youre stupid. and they couldve put ANY album in the list, they still would make the same amount of money. i dont understand your logic. so if they put beggars on the list, they would make less money? if you look at the most bought mp3 albums on amazon, there are a good amount of ap.net bands.

Well, most of AC's fans downloaded the leak that the band put out in December.

None of my favourite albums of 2009 made it on.

Thrice - Beggars
The Dear Hunter - Act III: Life and death
Brand New - Daisy
Frank Turner - Poetry of the deed
City Escape - Avalanches (admittedly an EP but nevermind)

chicken foot. nice.

have you not seen their list? its almost exclusively all indie albums, primarily pitchfork-favored bands.. there is nothing that would be on mainstream pop radio on the list except kelly clarkson at 72. you must be looking at the wrong list because you are telling me that they should put more "rock" albums. i dont see any "pop shit and r and b and crap on the radio"

edit: please dont get into an argument about this any longer. please dont assume a list is terrible because it has albums you never heard and it didnt have albums you like. and anyways, as cities burn is probably in my top 10 for the year.

Glad to see Phoenix is ranked high. One of my favorites this year. Also it's nice to see Silversun Pickups and The Dirty Projectors on the list.

poor lists
