Buddyhead
heeft haar toplijst over 2002: de beste en beroerdste platen, uiteraard op uiterst subtiele wijze becommentarieerd.
Coldplay - A Rush Of Blood To The HeadYeah, we like Coldplay, so what? Being into Coldplay is like banging that fat chick next door, or having an uncle that doesn't like minorities... it's just not something you go out of your way to publicize.

Sonic Youth - Murray Street Quite possibly the world's oldest cool people
[...]
The Mooney Suzuki - Electric SweatThese guys wrote the nu-garage clichÈ handbook, and are cashing in before the whole thing goes away quicker than ska. You know it's getting late in the "garage rock revolution" game when people start jocking dorks pushing 40 with receding hairlines who make monkey faces and have to remind the audience how cool they are 80 times during the set. I shit you not, the latest failed attempt (besides a fucking nike ad or some shit) to shove this crap down my throat in the last 3 hours, was to champion these dweebs as "bringing the world honest rock". Sure dudes, honest rock via pathetic old men lying about their age by 10 YEARS, as not to disappoint the teenybopper Hives demographic. These guys make the Strokes look like the fuckin Stones.
En dan is er nog hun
Honorable Mention: Any record put out by any band from Sweden.
