Lists - Top Albums of the Decade

As many publications have pointed out, this year is going to offer up a double-shot of debatable lists that will undoubtedly cause the normally mild-mannered temperament of cut-off jean-wearing hipsters to go apopleptic: Best of 2009 and Best of the Decade. We'll try to post them as we find out about them, and today we have three "End of the Decade" lists for your perusal: Pitchfork's Top 50 (there are 200, but that's crazy), Uncut's Top 150 (only top 20 is listed, because 150 is equally as crazy as 200... AND they're British. Guffaw.), and Austin Town Hall's Top 50. Personally, I like bits and pieces from the Pitchfork and ATH Top 20s, but what do I know??
