As we already mentioned, the year is winding down and the top 10, 25, 50 and 100 lists have already begun. Always earlier than other reputable sources, Paste's list is in with She & Him in the top spot:
Maybe it’s just a sweet little folk record—a tiny, flawless diamond. Or maybe it’s a pristine distillation of harmony and craft; 50 years of songwriting experience served up on a spinning silver platter. Either way, it’s our album of the year. Produced with touches of girl-group splendor and arranged with a dreamy, old-fashioned vibe, She & Him’s debut couldn’t be more adorable.
Check Paste for the full top 50 and let the controversy ensue.
