I was quite surprised to see Spankrock on there. I quite likes that one. Also glad to see Juana Molina high up and J Dilla make it. I figured Cat Power woulda ranked higher, though.
Still don't see what all the fuss about Joanna Newsome is. An hour of harp covered in sqeeky vocals just doesn't sit well with me. Ah well...

I really hate it when hip-hop gets put on these sort of lists. That being said this list isn't that unexpected coming from a place like Tinymixtapes.

^^^ Weird. Personally, I would've liked to have seen more hip-hop on the list.
