From what I understand, NME is 'a big deal' in the United Kingdom, kind of like the 'British Rolling Stone Mag Website'. They are sort of the 'frontline' of tastemaking for many of the horrible UK musical/aesthetic trends that 'blow up' and then people think they are supposed 2 like. Kinda like a publication that keeps telling u the White Stripes are relevant, and u understand they are a 'good band' but don't really understand why 'critics' want u to appreciate them so actively.

N e ways, theymade some list of 'the 50 best new bands of 2010', probably just to get mad hits, and they put Best Coast at #1. Not sure why they did this. Do yall think her music is 'good'? Is the UK a dark and gloomy place, and they are just dreaming of living in the California sun, getting mad danked?

Here is the list. Do yall know if any of these bands are 'worth listening to', or is this just 1 of those lists where all of the artists have been around for ~2 years?

Are yall tired of dying rock magazines making multi-paged listicles for SEO + traffic driving purposes in order 2 'try to stay relevant'?
