What are numbers 26-30?
Actually, I think I've got the least to bitch about with this one - any list that puts Lily Allen ahead of Wilco is fine by me.

I have to agree, Toby and ChrisB. I doubt Panda Bear, PB&J, and Stars (to name 3) would make many average Americans' top-25 lists. Or that the average American has heard of them, even.
The Wal-Mart best-of-the-year list, however...
(kidding, there isn't one)

I guess it makes sense this is one of the least offensive ones? On all fronts... it's almost like your holiday giftlist checklist for the fams.
